Monsters In Turbans 09/18/06

Iran should be a thriving, well-educated, prosperous nation with
a population of well educated gainfully employed people living in peace and
prosperity.

Instead they are a captive people, who are jailed, tortured and even
executed for speaking out against the a cruel and backward government run by a cadre of joyless old men in robes and turbans who want to control every aspect of everybody's lives, public and personal.

And they are willing to subject Iran's citizens to horrible repression and
torture to achieve their sorry goals. The president of Iran, a mere puppet
for the Islamic fanatics who are the real power, is a rabid war hawk that
makes no bones about his desire to destroy Israel, and everybody else who
doesn't bow to Islam.

The current Iranian regime is tantamount to Hitler's Nazis, demanding absolute control over the minds, bodies and souls of every man,
woman and child in that unfortunate nation. And the stories of imprisonment and torture are numerous and horrible.

The world should be screaming at Iran, the world should be doing whatever is necessary to prevent this incredibly cruel regime from getting their hands
on a nuclear device.

These people don't care about human life, even the lives of their own
citizens. They don't care if they destroy the whole planet and they don't
care how many innocent people die.

They are no longer a loose cannon, they are a loose nuclear juggernaut on a collision course with everything we in this country hold dear, our freedom,
our families, even our religion. They are determined to eradicate all
non-Islamic beliefs and they will stop at nothing to accomplish it.

It bothers me that so few people realize the gravity of this situation. That
so many people think that diplomacy is still the way to go, people who
actually think that these monsters can be placated.

Well folks, it just ain't gonna happen. Iran will probably develop their
nuclear bomb, and then they will sit back and hold the whole planet hostage.

You say, how can they hold the whole world hostage with a relatively small
number of nuclear devices?

That's simple. Just imagine the whole oil-producing region of the Middle
East and Southwest Asia nuked and uninhabitable for decades if not longer.
Imagine the economy of a petroleum hungry world grinding to a stop. Imagine the chaos, the panic, and the incredible loss of life, the human suffering beyond imagination.

Words will never work with Iran, all they understand is action
and it seems that the world just doesn't have the stomach for that.

Except for Israel.

Pray for our troops
