As the IDF takes on Syrian and Iranian backed Hezbullah in Lebanon, the United States is about to enter the diplomatic fight of its life. You ask what I'm talking about? The Iranian ambassador to the UN announced today that Iran will step up its uranium enrichment program in defiance of the recent Security Council request, Syris is preparing for a regional conflict. This begs the question - What next? Russia and China have a vested intrest in selling technology to Iran. Most U.S. troops are commited in Iraq, and our military is woefully understrenght thanks to the "peace didvidend" initiative started during the Clinton era. 

     Forming up a coallition of the willing will be next to impossible, as world leaders in Europe and elsewhere are affraid of offending Muslim sensibilities. To take no action is not an option, but the UN has no way of enforcing its resolutions. Witness what happened leading up to the invasion of Iraq. If we wait much longer to take action, we will have already lost.

     Where are the Teddy Roosevelts , Winston Churchills and Moshi Dyans of the world today? It may be harsh to say, but we need their type of thinking and actions now more then ever. The intellectual thinkers of today are to worried about what others will think, rather then what others will do. While we of the Christian faith are taught to turn the other cheek, we are also admonished it is a mortal sin to commit suicide. The world on its present course is headed for the latter, and I for one do not intend to be a victim of such foolishness.

     Iran, Syria and other countries of their ilk must be dealt with as we deal with the terrorist they sponsor. No quarter given. Cut off trade, embargo good shipments, and if necessary use what force is necessary to make them see the light. Libya saw the hadwritting on the wall, it is time for the sponsors off terrorism and the terrorist groups to see it also.

     Israel was very good at hunting down perpatrators on violence against it and its citizens it is time for the rest of the free world to read the play book and follow suite. If we do not we are doomed to repeat a past that was very unpleasant.
