Mr. Harry Moody decries “Mr. Trump’s” war on Iran claiming it is costing money that could go for his Medicare. I wonder if Mr. Moody, in the last four years, ever wrote a letter (he’s a subscriber) to the SMDJ decrying the $200 billion the Biden administration spent on a war in Ukraine, a war that still rages on. I wonder if Mr. Moody ever wrote a letter decrying the billions of dollars of his Medicare entitlement Joe Biden gifted in weapons to the Taliban (who later sold much of it to terrorists.)
Yet, on the other hand, the war on Iran, as letter writer Joe Guttenbeil points out, is a war against a regime that treats women as property, and gay people as execution bait. It is a regime, as it promises “Death to America,” has been razor close to manufacturing nuclear weapons and developing missiles that could reach America soil to fulfill that promise.
Yes, I understand Mr. Moody’s fears about his Medicare. I too, am a senior on Medicare.
But I also fear for the lives of Mr. Moody’s children and grandchildren. I, for one, am grateful we are waging a war to destroy this murderous regime. Unlike the billions to Ukraine and billions to the Taliban, it is money well-spent.
Well said, Mr. Abramson. When folks whose emotions cloud their judgment and common sense are easily exposed as being hypocritical, it is in our best interests to ignore their outbursts. The best we can do is to guide them to the fountain of truth and hope they drink from it.
Scott, the money from the war on Iran is well spent? How lame. Tell us any objective, if there was one, was met. Regime change? - no. Iranian people rising up to take over their government? No and after we killed their civilians, decidedly not. Less nuclear capacity than before the strikes? - not well determined but likely not. Strait of Hormuz open? - no, but it was open prior to his war. Plus, Trump released the sanctions on Russia's oil supply, so his buddy Putin comes out a winner as well.
Obama and John Kerry has a written agreement from Iran whereby Iran agreed to not build any nuclear bombs. Trump tore up that agreement - probably because he had "a concept of a plan". This was a great diplomatic victory and agreement Trump tore up because it was done by Obana.
Bottom line: there is no way this war on Iran was worth any money we spent and are spending on it. This war is an abject failure, just like his presidency.
