Everyone knows that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. Everyone knows that Iran and Syria are the primary engines of the insurgency in Iraq. Everyone knows that they instigated and commanded Hizbullah's war against Israel this summer and continue to arm Hizbullah and prepare for the next round of fighting. Everyone knows that like Hizbullah, the Palestinians today act as Iranian proxies.
Everyone knows that Syria engineered the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri in February 2005 and the murder of Lebanese Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel last month. And everyone knows that Iran and Syria are currently working to overthrow the pro-Western, democratic government of Lebanon.
And everybody knows that everybody knows. The problem isn't whether people know. The problem is that the Europeans, the UN, the Russians, Chinese and the Arabs either do not care or wish them well in their endeavors.
Read the rest. In the 1930s, after the horrendous slaughter of WWI, people didn’t want to face the danger of Nazism. Today will no one acknowledge what needs to be done? Why the great silence in the MSM? Why the lack of alarm in the Democratic Party? Why the merely perfunctory mention of the Iranian threat by Republican candidates with only a few exceptions? When will we act?

The will to disbelief is preceded by the fear of the political fallout of attacking Iran. America has become an international pariah for our attempts at good work in Iraq. Iran is an even thornier problem, as one of the other things that everybody knows, but doesn't want to say is that Iran is backed up by China and Russia.
China and russia are using Iran as a proxy to weaken the United States.
One has to wonder, if we attack Iran, are we inviting a larger and more horrible war than we can imagine?
I say, well, sometimes you just have to choose to do what is right, damn the consequences.
I do not know if the time for war is now. If/when Iran are near to getting the bomb, war will be a necessity.
But I do know that a war should be decisive. Clean out Iran and the neighborhood in one go.
People living in rubble do not dominate planets.
