I just read a fantastic article that all of you should read.

Those who counsel us not to provoke Iran forget the lessons of history.  Churchill didn’t cause World War II; the appeasers of Nazi Germany did.  And peace is an event, not a “process.”

It’s sad when a major newspaper suggests we should fear Vice President Dick Cheney more than Iran’s loony leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But that’s what the Los Angeles Times did in a weekend editorial.

It opined that Cheney’s “desire to bomb Iranian nuclear sites and Revolutionary Guard targets” was “backfiring, causing it to escalate its anti-American activities instead of backing off.” Besides, we are told, the earliest Iran could threaten us with nuclear bombs and intercontinental missiles is 2015.

So we should just press our snooze button?

Stop the presses: Iran already is killing Americans with advanced explosives smuggled to foreign jihadists in Iraq. It is the creator, banker and armory for Hezbollah, which killed 241 Americans in their Beirut barracks in 1983.

It is Hezbollah that provoked a war with Israel, used Lebanon as a human shield and is working as we speak to destabilize and destroy that multicultural democracy and replace it with an Islamofascist theocracy modeled on Ahmadinejad’s Iran.

This is all Cheney’s fault?

Ahmadinejad’s threat to wipe Israel off the map is not just a misunderstanding between well-intentioned diplomats. It’s a threat — no, a promise — as real and ominous as the blueprint for hell on Earth that Hitler drew up in his warning that no one took seriously, “Mein Kampf.”

The fact is that soon, earlier than 2015, an Iranian freighter in international waters off, say, California, could launch a nuclear-armed Scud over the American heartland. The warhead would detonate high in the night sky, unleashing an electromagnetic pulse frying the Times’ presses and sending the U.S. economy back 100 years. The war on terror would be over, and we would have lost.
