President Trump is wise to take his time deciding on military action against Iran. There's little urgency as the Mullahs are finished as a powerful threat. Not one country in the world is supporting Iran.
Everyone knows it's over.
The President would like the Mullahs to surrender so US air power could sit it out. And that's possible. Many discussions are taking place in dark rooms.
It is long past time for some semblance of order in the world. That's the strategy I offered the Chinese authoritarians in Beijing a few weeks ago. Partner up with the USA to impose order by eliminating threats. What's the downside to that? A calmer world means more prosperity for all. You don't have to be Winston Churchill to figure that out.
With nuclear weapons locked and loaded, the world can no longer tolerate crazed killers wielding power. But a united front against psychopathic leadership will be necessary to eliminate threats.
The terrorists in Iran are likely to be the first ones to implode. It is certainly possible other villains will follow.
Enjoy the weekend. Sunday column ahead. |
