In the wake of the U.N. resolution backing the new government in Iraq, it’s useful to remember that this will only intensify the violence against us. That violence is not entirely indigenous. And it is being directed and supported by the theo-fascists in Tehran. We are at war with those mullahs, even if we do not want to believe it. Or rather: they are at war with us, and with any chance that liberal democracy can take root in Iraq. Here’s a fascinating interview with some of the Iranian elite. Khameini is particularly revealing:
[T]he Americans are convinced that they will easily win the war in Iraq. But they will not see that day. As the Imam [Khomeini] said, ‘One day the U.S. too will be history.’ In light of what happened in Iraq, we can see now that he is right, because such events move the U.S. down the slope, and they will taste the bitterness of sure defeat.”
And Khameini will do all he can to ensure that defeat, won’t he? (Hat tip: Tim Perry.)
