“The mullahs who run Iran are murderous thugs. They kill women for showing their hair. They throw people in jail for dancing. They execute homosexuals. Death to America is their official foreign policy. They want Salman Rushdie’s head on a platter. The world is a better place without them.

I realize that’s crazy talk to anyone born in the 1990s or the 2000s. If you learned your foreign policy in a post-9/11 Ivy League classroom, or from some based online bugmold with a newsletter, that sounds like the reckless neocon warmongering that put us into a quagmire in Iraq.

But I was born in the 1970s. I remember the shocking barbarism of the fatwa against Mr. Rushdie. I remember the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorism of the 1980s, the 1994 suicide attack on the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. I remember Terry Anderson and Terry Waite. I remember that al Qaeda members, including Osama bin Laden’s son, were given sanctuary in Iran after 9/11.

Any American over 50 knows who started it. The claim that Iran is the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism is more than words. It strikes deep. The Islamic Republic has waged war on the West and Western values for half a century. The Foundation for Defense of Democracies keeps a handy tally of Tehran’s long and bloody résumé. Check it out sometime.”

If you'd like to fight the Mullahs, you're free to do so. Stop using our children to do it.

“Our children” - or rather, our military - are getting rid of this sick regime which has caused so much terror around the world for decades. Very thankful right now but it figures that you would want the Islamic Regime to continue sowing terror both within Iran and worldwide.

The new MAGA talking point: "get rid of evil regimes"

The old MAGA talking point: "we can't be the world's police".. "no new wars"

How pathetic you are.

If we are now in charge of ridding the world of every evil regime, when does MAGA plan on bombing NK, Russia, China, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, UAE, Egypt and Equitorial Guinea?

Let's start with your list. NK, Russia and China have nukes and we, the USA, are bullies, not fools. We tried in Afghanistan for 20 years and well you know the outcome of that clusterfrack. I don't believe Myanmar have any rare earths or commodities of value, so until some are found, we will pass. Saudi Arabia is paying the Trump family billions of dollars and they were able to convince Trump to dump bombs on the biggest adversary this weekend. Cuba is currently in the works because that has been an obsession of Rubio's since he was a little boy. Egypt is currently under the authoritarian rule of a USA puppet the USA installed, so why do we need a regime change. They do what they are told. I don't know enough about Equitorial New Guinea to comment, mabye someone else has information. BTW, I hope you don't think your list is complete. There are a heckuva lot more evil regimes in the world. Too many.

The whole Egyptian thing is not correct. Obama supported Morsi as the democratically elected president. The Egyptian military, which had been in charge for decades, conducted a coup. We were hesitant to call it that. But it's a stretch to say we installed him. He is just like Mubarak and very solicitous to the US because we give them a lot of aid.
