The only thing more outrageous than the assertion that the Iranian government tried to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the US and bomb embassies in Washington is the fact that it's all probably true.
Setting aside my usual forays into the chaos of American politics, today's post is a call to action against the Iranian regime by the international community.
Since the overthrow of the shah in 1979, Iran has provided the world with a shining example of why politics and religion should not be mixed. Theocracy in Iran has led to a bloody war with Iraq, the suppression of the Iranian people and the export of terrorism. The country's leadership lives in a state of historical denial, openly hates Israel, and has nuclear ambitions. From Khoemeini to Khamenei, the leadership of the ayatollahs and their selected presidential puppets has been a blight on Iran, the Middle East and the entire global community.
The United States has been vocal and proactive in our attempts to sanction Iran, halt the expansion of their nuclear program and help lend a voice to the oppressed Iranian people. It is time for other nations to join us. China and Russia have never been warm to the idea of sanctioning Iran and their refusal to participate in strong sanctions have empowered a regime that supports oppression at home and terror abroad.
It is time for the entire global community to stand up to the Iranian regime. The planned attacks on the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Washington would have amounted to a declaration of war on those countries. The subversive and violent policies of Iran have caused death in the past and will cause death again in the future. It's time for them to go.
The United States needs to lay out the bare facts for the entire world to see and the international community needs to stand united and punish the Iranian regime in a manner that will help bring about it's downfall. The Iranian people deserve better, the peace-loving people of the Middle East deserve better and those who want to feel safe regardless of where they live deserve better.
