Israel has reminded all of us in the West how to win. They have to finish the job now and, as in 1967, these conflicts will then need to be concluded from a position of dominance. And the whole world will be a better place for it.
The Israeli Prime Minister and the American President might not be to everyone's taste but it's time to ease off on both of them for a while. These two men are exactly the right people for the job in hand. The West has been beguiled by the wicked savages in power in Iran who were first patronised and then feared. The recent behaviour of the British, French and Canadian governments have brought shame on us all.
This piece, and several that preceded it, have helpfully illustrated the barbarity, repression and illegitimacy of the Iran regime. The mullahs have been allowed - and often encouraged - to wreak havoc around the Middle East and even further afield. This week the Israelis have shown that this is no longer tolerable and they are close to bringing it to a suitable end. Other pieces have described the multitude of wonderful Persian people who live in that extraordinary place. The mullahs bring shame on them and contaminate everything around them. Hopefully, their end is imminent as once again Israel shines a light for us all to follow.
A question: is the leadership of the Iranian military and the Revolutionary Guard generally secular or Islamist?
If secular and in it for their own power and perks, I’d guess that they’d be more likely to engineer a coup.
Also, isn’t it kind of embarrassing that small Israel is doing what the world knows should be done? The great and powerful West and the Gulf Arabs with their huge arms have sat cowed for decades. ( Of course much of them - the West as much as anyone- just don’t like Jews.)
Do you think the Iranian mullahs regime will fall? I ticked "Probably in 20 years" asking myself, is it really the key? I suggest that Israel acted on day 61 because they do not want a regime with the objective of "wiping Israel off the map" having nuclear weapons. If we have observed anything in the Mid East since 1918 it is that "change is the only constant"! President "If x does not do y in 24 hours then All Hell Will Break Loose" is not going to take America into another 20 year geopolitical engineering war. Thus Israel has another lawn to mow! Perhaps now 'everyone' should keep their powder dry for the next three and a half years whilst the White House pays the bills. I agree greatly with Jim Woodman on the 'environment'.
This is a great article.
