Will Trump get involved in another Mideastern war, or will he resist? Pat Buchanan asks the question:
>Is Iran in Our Gun Sights Now?
>“Iran must be free. The dictatorship must be destroyed. Containment is appeasement and appeasement is surrender.”
>Thus does our Churchill, Newt Gingrich, dismiss, in dealing with Iran, the policy of containment crafted by George Kennan and pursued by nine U.S. presidents to bloodless victory in the Cold War.
>Why is containment surrender? “Because freedom is threatened everywhere so long as this dictatorship stays in power,” says Gingrich.
>But how is our freedom threatened by a regime with 3 percent of our GDP that has been around since Jimmy Carter was president?..

>At the NCRI conference in Paris in July where Gingrich spoke, and the speaking fees were reportedly excellent, John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani were also on hand.
>Calling Iran’s twice-elected President Hassan Rouhani, “a violent, vicious murderer,” Giuliani said, “the time has come for regime change.”
>Bolton followed suit. “Tehran is not merely a nuclear weapons threat, it is not merely a terrorist threat, it is a conventional threat to everybody in the region,” he said. Hence, “the declared policy of the United States of America should be the overthrow of the mullahs’ regime in Tehran.”
>We will all celebrate in Tehran in 2019, Bolton assured the NCRI faithful...
>Who else wants a U.S. war with Iran, besides ISIS?
>Unfortunately, their number is legion: Saudis, Israelis, neocons and their think tanks, websites and magazines, hawks in both parties on Capitol Hill, democracy crusaders, and many in the Pentagon who want to deliver payback for what the Iranian-backed Shiite militias did to us in Iraq.
>President Trump is key. If he does the War Party’s bidding, that will be his legacy, as the Iraq War is the legacy of George W. Bush.

Some people in government want another war simply because they want to be the gruff old man who gets on TV and says "This is WAR." (McCain comes to mind)
I hate people like that so much.

When will the world understand that arabs cannot handle democracy? They are dogs that need to be led by a master.

Good thing Iranians aren't arabs.
>>134581824
I doubt that's the goal with Iran. The real goal is to turn Iran into another Syria - a bunch of feuding militias that destroy the nation's cities and eliminate it as a threat to Saudi/Israeli interests.
>>134581824
Iran is a democracy you fucking Swedish cuckold
>>134581824
Euro education for you.

Fucking retarded Swedes man. They deserve to be bred by black bulls.

STFU AIPAC

Why do American conservatives support this kind of shit, though. Even Tea Party "nationalists" are nothing but AIPAC shills - but conservative voters seem to like it that way.

It's the evangelicals.
>>134584257
Evangelicals in the US weren't really "Christian Zionists" until the 1980's. If you went back even to just the 1950's and tried to peddle "Christian Zionism" to Southern Baptists, you'd be laughed at.
