Next Stop, Iran?

Iran, North Korea, and Syria are all major problems for America but who is going to deal with them? President Bush is under attack from anti-war groups and private citizens for the war in Iraq. President Bush has not let up even under increasing pressure, especially from the left (and some on the right) to end the war. But President Bush is right. The War on Terror does run through Iraq. There is no doubt that Saddam was a sponsor of terror and a cruel man. He used biological and chemical weapons on his own people. He cut checks to families of suicide bombers. He was not innocent. Even though President Bush was correct with the liberation of Iraq, did the war in Iraq prevent us from defending ourselves against future enemies including Iran and Syria? Iran, according to reports, is fairly close in being able to use long-range missiles to hit targets increasingly further away, including American interests in Europe. The president of Iran has stated many times that Israel should be wipe off the map. What if they had the capabilities to add nuclear warheads to those missiles? Is this something we can afford to do? I do not think so. So what is the answer and how should Israel be involved in all this?

I do not think that President Bush will attack Iran before the upcoming election. If Bush does not do it, who will? Sen. Clinton (D-NY), if elected, will treat the War on Terror as a police action. There will be warrants, courts, and arrests. This is not the way to fight terrorists. The terrorists are listening and watching us for their next move, especially the nation of Iran.
Terrorists would like nothing more than for the American public to elect a weak liberal, who will take weak action against our enemies. This is a dangerous move. We need strength not weakness with foreign policy. If the actions of former President Bill Clinton are any indication of the views and actions of Hilliary, we are all in trouble. We need a strong leader for this new era. I am looking for a leader who will not down play the importance of each innocent American life taken by terrorist thugs. We will need a leader who will stand up and say that this will not be tolerated. I want someone to say that for every American killed by terrorists, 1000 will be killed on their side. We need to put fear in them and not the other way around. We need to go on the offense and not just with defense.
