About a thousand Iranian students protested a speech by the Iranian “President,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, crying “Death to the dictator”! In what can only be called a brave and, frankly, dangerous move, the students of Iran are protesting Ahmadinejad’s “corruption, mismanagement, and deception”, according to the New York Times. More power to them, I say!

While I still believe in the importance of Iraq, Iran is becoming more and more evident as a global threat. They need to be dealt with. Or, more to the point, the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad need to be dealt with. Iran is openly pursuing nuclear capabilities. They harbor and finance known terrorist groups. They deny that the Holocaust ever took place. These folks are so antithetical to that for which America stands they need to be addressed.

What America needs to do is bolster the air of dissent created by the students. I know that they are burdened beyond belief, but we need to refocus our troops on Iran rather than Iraq. If we back Middle Easterners who are opposed to the terrorist regimes, we will not only gain victory in Middle East but we may gain back some of our respect as well.

If we’re going to try to change the region, we must back up our words with swift and decisive action. Negotiation will not work with the Islamo-Nazis who are only interested in the destruction of all who oppose them.

Don’t like it? Well, you still have that right…(at least here in America)

God Bless,
