Well Alireza, Hagee isn’t President of the USA, isn’t even an advisor to the President, isn’t likely to be such an advisor, and most Americans will ignore him, even though most Americans support Israel. It’s a democracy and technologically advanced, and its people have bravly defended themselves against genocide and brought themselves up to a First World economic status by their hard work, while their bloodthirsty neighbors have stagnated and remained under tyrannies, even with access to all that oil money. Americans admire grit, which the Israelis have and their bloodthirsty neighbors do not.

Now the Ayatollahs want to finish the job the Nazis started. They, and the Arab wannabe genocideurs, must have decided that Allah does not actively direct matters on Earth any more, because if they did they’d look at what happened to the worst persecutors of the Jews over the last century (Czarist Russia, Communist Russia, Nazi Germany) and make peace with Israel PDQ in order to avoid a like fate. Which do you suppose should be Iran’s fate for attempted genocide? Collapse in revolution, collapse in economic failure and spiritual exhaustion, or almost total destruction by fire and sword spread over the whole country? The Ayatollahs seem intent on bringing about the last.

And for the record let me state that this is one American who knows, and has known for decades, that Persians and Arabs are quite different peoples. So to those sneering at the ignorance of American cowboys, lay off.

Want to talk about ignorance? In “Guests of the Ayatollah” one of the American hostages had some Iranian woman haranguing him about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Finally he told her that the Japanese had it coming after their attack on Pearl Harbor. That stopped her, speechless. She had not known, it seems, that the nuclear bombings had come during World War II (maybe she’d never heard of that war) and that it started for America with a Japanese surprise attack. Now there is ignorance for you. I hope it gave her a few sleepless nights worrying about what America might do to Tehran over the embassy violation.

The USAF might be able to take out Iran’s nuke program with non-nuclear weapons, if we know where it all is, which I doubt. I doubt Israel can. Hardened and dispersed over a huge country, I suspect the job would be too big. Too many targets that are buried too deeply. It’s not like hitting a single target within range of aerial refueled F-16s, as with the Osirak reactor or the recent strike in Syria.

The Iranian people put these vicious swine into power with their Revolution. Their consent, active or tacit, allows them to stay in power. It is first of all up to the Iranian people to remove these swine from power, especially if they want to avoid being fried in the nuclear war the Ayatollahs seem intent on provoking. Once the bombs start flying it will be too late.
