CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 16, 2024
IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE SHORTEST WAR IN HISTORY. THE WEEKEND ATTACK BY IRAN AGAINST ISRAEL FAILED BECAUSE A COALITION OF AMERICAN, BRITISH, AND ARAB COUNTRIES COMBINED TO SHOOT DOWN AN ESTIMATED 300 DRONES AND MISSILES IRAN SHOT TOWARDS ISRAEL.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NATANYAHU HAS VOWED REVENGE. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT WON’T HELP IF ISRAEL ATTACKS IRAN.
THIS IS THE WAY IT ALWAYS GOES. TERRORISTS, FUNDED INDIRECRTLY AND DIRECTLY BY IRAN ARE NEVER URGED TO SHOW “RESTRAINT.” ONLY ISRAEL, THE REAL VICTIM, IS SUPPOSED TO SHOW RESTRAINT.
THE REVENGE CYCLE WILL CONTINUE UNLESS THE GOAL OF THE FREE WORLD IS REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN. IT ALMOST HAPPENED IN A PREVIOUS ELECTION, BUT THE AYATOLLAHS KILLED OR JAILED OPPONENTS OF THE REGIME.
ULTIMATELY, THIS IS JIMMY CARTER’S FAULT. IF CARTER HAD NOT BACKED THE OVERTHROW OF THE SHAH OF IRAN IN THE LATE 1970’S, THE AYATOLLAHS LIKELY WOULD NOT HAVE COME TO POWER AND BECOME WORLD’S THE NUMBER ONE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM. THE OBAMA AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS CONTRIBUTED TO IRAN’S STRENGTH BY SENDING THEM BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND REFUSING TO ENFORCE SANCTIONS.
REGIME CHANGE IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO PREVENT MORE OF THIS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
