Is the Panic About Iran Political, Practical, or Even Real?
Derek Hunter


It’s been just over a week since the United States and Israel decapitated the despotic regime in Iran, and while it may seem longer – they have been attacking us for 47 years, almost unanswered – the idea that this will be a “forever war” or even a prolonged event is absurd. If you are inclined to believe that and can actually see the future, slip me some winning lottery numbers, won’t you? Since you aren’t psychic, maybe calm down or stop lying.

I had no idea how endangered strawmen were until I saw Megyn Kelly rolling several out every single day to avoid criticizing her “friend” Candace Owens for accusing her other “friend,” Erika Kirk, of being involved in the murder of her husband, among other things. What some people will do for success…

I get it, I guess.  Actually, I don’t. I couldn’t actually flip my opinion on anything, especially significant, for a paycheck. I’ve been paid to give speeches and whatnot on issues I didn’t really care all that much about – and you don’t have to care deeply about something to have an opinion on it – but I’ve never been asked to flip-flop on an issue for an audience or anything else, nor would I do it.

The truth is an easier story to remember, and if you say what you really did or really believe, you don’t have to try to keep a running list of who you told which story to. That’s why I don’t understand these people who claim to be genuinely outraged over the actions against Iran.

It's apprehension of another VietNam, 2003 Iraq, or Afghanistan ... mission creep escalating to quagmire.

Clear definition of the objectives is what the American people want.  If the goal is regime change, so be it.  Kill as many mullahs as it takes for them to capitulate or fall from power.

A popular uprising in Iran is unlikely because the streets are controlled by armed Iranian state militias.  The general population does not have the arms nor military training to neutralize the regime's militias.

So, the West needs to keep killing mullahs and destroying command, control, and communications infrastructure.

At some point, the West needs to restore global internet access, and other means of civilian communication, to the Iranian people if they want the civilian population to offer organized resistance to the regime.
