The Next Frontier...

How many Generations of Americans should be forced to put up with the crap coming from Iran?

When I was a little boy, I remember all of the adults in my life being worried about events occuring in Iran. I vividly remember the 444 day long Iran Hostage Crisis in the latter part of the Carter Administration, and I also vividly remember when it ended.

On the same day that Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.

The message was forever burned into my developing brain. Democrats beg and plead, attempt to negotiate, and accept abuse from thugs and bullies on an International Scale.

Republicans DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

The whole World knew that in 1980. (About half of the American public are a little slow on the uptake, though...)

The Government of Iran, flying in the face of the whole World, is currently, actively, and publicly pursuing a Nuclear Weapons program. They are making no secret of the fact that they intend to use these Weapons to eradicate a neighboring soveriegn Nation. (Israel.)

They have also made no secret of the fact that they hate America as an entity, and Iran has for twenty years been a hotbed of Terrorist support and activity against American interests all over the World.

I say if the Government of Iran wants a Nuclear Weapon that badly, then we should give them one.

Right in the middle of downtown Tehran.

From 30,000 feet.

And make it one that is big enough to get the job done.

In my Great Grandparent's and Grandparent's day, all of the trouble in the World came from Japan and Germany.

That came to a screeching halt when the U.S. dropped a couple of Atomic Bombs on Japan. (Germany knew it was coming, and decided that they didn't want one.)

Since we did that, we have had nothing but love and affection from Japan. They have been one of our most steadfast and dependable Allies. They try to immitate our culture, our traditions, and our language.

Because we demonstrated that we could, and would, kick their butt.

The same thing would work with Iran, if we would only do it.

Not only would it work in Iran, but it would convert a large percentage of the Muslim World in general into fans of America.

Muslims respect displays of awsome power. They have no respect for grovelers or negotiators.

That's a fact.

If we want to insure that Terrorism, Israel style, does not find it's way to our soil, then Iran has to be dealt with, and dealt with forcefully.

I for one am glad that the President keeps saying that all options are on the table when it comes to Iran.

I hope he is serious.
