Peace movements always produce war. Peace movements always produce conditions where the most violent regimes will see advantage.

Iran has stated their declaration to "wipe Israel off the map" and dominate the Persian Gulf. They took our hostages in 1979, and have been ramping up their aggression ever since. They have provided weapons, funding, training, and personnel to kill our troops in Iraq. They are a state sponsor of terror. They brutally repress their own people, especially women and gays. They are working feverishly to build nukes, and if you don't believe they will use them, then you are a fool.

Bush is simply laying the cards on the table.

The choice is clear: fight Iran now, or wait to fight them until after they build nukes. Iran now passes along IEDs and other weapons to terrorists fighting us. Do you think Iran might pass along a nuke to Al Qaeda, their partner in Islamofascism in Iraq? They are rivals you say? Then you are naive. They are both 100% anti-US, anti-Israel, and anti-Western. They are both fighting us and killing our people. We are the common enemy.

What do you think Al Qaeda would do with a nuke? And why would it have to be Al Qaeda? Do you think Al Qaeda is the only group of Islamocrazies who would use a nuke?

Is it such a far leap --from their actions and threats and Iran fighting a proxy war against us in Iraq with conventional weapons --to providing nukes to terrorists?

Why aren't Ahmadinejad's threats being taken seriously?

Why don't people learn from history?
