Some readers of the DJ and others who are compromising themselves to run for office, are now alleging that Trump is starting a new war. Many of them are used to the soothing Obama era when there was a “no hear, no see, no speak” administration while the world overran us in many aspects. Contrary to reality, comments about our current Middle East engagement seem mostly expressed by folks who seem more concerned about the quality of their dog and cat food and the timely delivery of yet more Chinese made detritus on their porches. Sorry to burst your superficial bubble. Trump is actually attempting to end a war.
This war was allowed to start by our doofus president, Carter, and has proliferated ever since. The Iranian government, along with proxies, while yelling “Death to America” for almost 50 years, has caused thousands of deaths among American servicemen and numerous civilians outside our borders.
Don’t forget the attack on the U.S. Marines in Beirut that killed hundreds. Even Reagan did not have the fortitude to punish Hezbollah for that despicable crime. We finally have a president who has the wisdom and resources to get rid of this plague. An Iranian TV station showed a bawling reporter announcing the death of this monstrous ayatollah by adding that he was the true representative of Islam’s teachings.
Think about that, readers and voters, the next time you criticize our president and formulate your vote for the next term.
Well stated, Mr. van Ulden. Remember, we have folks afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome and Democrats who won’t stand for law and order while putting the welfare of criminal and terrorists over the American people. You won’t convince them of what’s in the best interest of America but hopefully, your letter will serve to convince those on the fence that the actions taken by Trump and Netanyahu against Iran are justified and serve to make Americans, and the world, safer. As such, they should vote wisely and oust those who hate Trump more than they love America.
