The names of the enemy

The disaster we in America and Israel are experiencing is a direct consequence of deliberate evasion. When the Iranians took over our embassy in Teheran in 1979 they declared war on Anerica. They have openly declared their hatred for Israel and America, by calling us the Great and The Little Satans that Iran will destroy by waging war. Their actions since demonstrate that they are serious.

No rational person can fail to know these facts yet our government agents continue to call our pitifully trivial military response, actions to make Iraqis free and to establish Democracies in the enemy countries of the Mid- East, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Iran is the fountainhead of the Muslim ideology that motivates our enemies and must be destroyed to the degree that they cannot pose a threat to America and more importantly, the devastation must be so complete that their will to fight is destroyed as well.

Delay only allows our enemies to grow stronger and make the ultimate battle more costly to America. The only way the required action will proceed is for the majority of Americans to know these facts and demand that our goverment act in righteous indignation and moral certainty to punish the enemy countries as a matter of justice.
