Marc A. Thiessen, writing for the Washington Post, has just provided an excellent analysis of what would constitute a victory in Iran for the United States (and, therefore, for the civilized world).
Here is how it starts:
President Donald Trump’s critics claim he has taken the United States to war in Iran with no coherent endgame in mind, while some of his own skittish advisers are urging him to end the war prematurely. Both are wrong.
Operation Epic Fury is on its way to a massive success. A patient Trump can achieve what no modern president before him came anywhere close to: the irreversible elimination of the Iranian threat. By contrast, if victory is not decisive, Iran’s surviving leaders could conclude that America lost its nerve and was too weak to defeat them.
This is a well-worth-reading analysis. I urge you to use the link provided above and read every word.
We have an opportunity to change the middle east in a very positive way…or to leave it in even worse shape than when we started. Let’s hope that our President and our military have the resolve – in the face of solid Democrat opposition, let’s never forget – to give us the former, not the latter.
