Throw Iran to the Wolves
Derek Hunter
First off, I’m writing this before President Donald Trump speaks to the nation tonight, where I expect him to declare victory and announce something about when we’ll be done in Iran. Good. That doesn’t change my opinion about what comes next, so the submission deadline does not negate what follows.
The Iranian regime wants to die; help them with that. Whatever shell of a government is left is launching rockets randomly at its neighbors, which indicates they’d rather fight until they’re dead than reconstitute itself into something that isn’t threatening to the rest of the world, so we should facilitate that end.
How do we do that? Well, we’ve weakened them to the point that the people of Iran could rise and rip them apart – pull a Mussolini and string up their oppressors. I hope that happens, as there is something cathartic in the oppressed having a hand in ridding the world of their oppressors. I mean, real oppressors, not the weak, wussy stuff college kids are taught, are oppressing them somehow, and the Iranian people have really been oppressed.
But what if the people don’t rise? What if they’re still gun-shy over the last time when low estimates have it at 35,000 slaughtered? Too bad. We can’t continue a war that is all won but the clean up because the people are afraid. If they won’t carry their freedom the last mile across the finish line, then they don’t get it.
