Let Our Allies Have Iran
Derek Hunter

As a kid, I remember the old saying, “Never let your mouth write a check your butt can’t cash.” Many a nose has been bloodied over a bounced check of this sort. That doesn’t stop the vast majority of people from continuing to write checks that, at a minimum, could bring their account balance unsettlingly close to the negative. One such person, I hate to say, is President Donald Trump on Iran.

The President has promised a lot of “hell” would be unleashed if Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz…and then they did all they could muster to close it. Nothing.

Ships are afraid to navigate the narrow waterway, as Iran still sends kamikaze drones at tankers randomly. And the “hell” promised has not come.

I want to make clear that I don’t care what happens with Iran, I am very happy their military is about worthless when it comes to anything but these drone attacks. And I would like to see the people rise up and cast off their Islamo-fascists oppressors, but if they don’t…well, you can’t force freedom on people, you can only give them the chance to grasp it for themselves. We have.

As long as we destroy every last vestige of Iran's nuclear capabilities - and that includes getting the uranium out of their hands - I don't care what happens next. Would love to see its culture return to this century, as it was before the Shah was overthrown, but that's about it.
