Iran Starts Middle East War

That's the bottom line as Iranian funded terrorists groups have provoked Israel by kidnapping Israeli soldiers in blatant acts of war. The Iranian regime is the Islamic version of Hitler's Nazi regime, irrationally but resolutely determined to obliterate Israel and control the entire Middle East. Even the virulence of the anti-Semitism is the same. Appeasement won't work. I predict that diplomacy alone won't work either. After September 11th, President Bush identified the Axis of Evil consisting of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. Saddam is gone from power, and a democratic Iraq on the doorstep of Iran is emerging. President Bush called it as it is: an Axis of Evil now dramatically confirmed by the North Korean launching of several rockets in the past few weeks, also dramatically confirmed by the Iranian initiation of a war with Israel. The entire template of the congressional Democrats' way of dealing with foreign challenges is the pollyannish assumption that the other side is rational. Neither Iran nor North Korea is rational (just as Saddam Hussein proved his own irrationality with his bizarre, taunting shell game over weapons of mass destruction with the U.N.). Thank God that we have a Republican administration that doesn't live in the fantasy world of congressional Democrats. Pray and brace yourselves for what is ahead. Here is a link from RealClearPolitics.com that gives you the detailed analysis. I agree with the article from RealClearPolitics.com that the Iranian start of the war is based on the calculation that the U.S. does not have the will to respond forcefully. The big foundation for that premise is the rhetoric of the defeatist congressional Democrats and their media sympathizers, rhetoric that is music and inducement to the ears of America's enemies. The Iranians started the war: the rhetoric of the congressional Democrats and the mainstream media encouraged it. Now, the liberals have to wake up and see that the world is not as they imagined it for the sake of their narrow, partisan political ambitions.
