This begs the question: if Iran poses such a threat to the region’s prosperity, why aren’t these wealthy Gulf fiefdoms eliminating that threat?

It is long past time for the Gulf Kingdoms and Israel to fully invest in their own collective security and quit expecting the United States to do their dirty work.

Wait until neverTrumpers figure this out...

JFK airport is and has been a shite hole for over a decade at least

I believe there's a realignment slowly playing out that will eventually lead to this. There are actually Muslim nations right now siding with Israel over the radical Iranian regime, and a majority of the Iranian people are praising both the US and Israel for their intervention.

In all honesty, whether we are afflicted with TDS or not, we owe a great debt of gratitude for what Trump pulled off in his first term in the middle-east. Kushner's efforts in bringing the Abraham Accords to fruition was truly world-changing diplomacy.

Even my own opinion of Kushner isn't the highest, but what he was able to accomplish with Trump's support is nothing short of miraculous. If we don't manage to completely eradicate ourselves first, we may see a day where our support of Israel is more purely diplomatic, peaceful and symbolic as opposed to physically militaristic.

The problem in that entire region though, has always been sectarian violence within the factions of Islam, and the overall war of Islamic civilization against the Judeo-Christian and western world.

Perhaps that’s the plan yet the challenge lies in it’s execution. The biggest hurdle to any such strategy would be the neoconservatives within Trump’s own administration, who see the U.S. as divinely mandated to protect Israel until kingdom come.

Putting that aside, regime decapitation doesn’t automatically translate to peace. If Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is removed, what fills the vacuum?

Perpetual U.S. interference in the internal politics of Middle Eastern nations has consistently led to unintended consequences — and often sparked waves of violence across the region. While the U.S. military excels at blowing things up, our intelligence and diplomatic community has a poor track record when it comes to predicting — much less managing — the longterm aftermath of such interventions.

While the military objectives of destroying Iran’s military capabilities appear achievable, the political objectives will be much more harder to achieve. The lesson of past U.S. intervention in the region demonstrates that it is easy to start a war yet much more difficult to establish a lasting peace.

In many ways, the Revolutionary Iranian Republic itself is an outgrowth of following these same failed regime change policies. The 1953 CIA-backed coup that installed the Shah of Iran is a prime example: it eventually fueled decades of resentment, culminating in the 1979 revolution.

The Shah’s regime itself was later sabotaged by agents of chaos in our nation’s own national security apparatus. Declassified documents revealed that the Carter Administration was communicating with Khomeini and other opposition leaders, contradicting the widely disseminated narrative that the Carter Administration was wholly surprised by the Iranian Revolution.

Iran And The Shah. What Really Happened?

…Long regarded as a U.S. ally, the Shah was pro-Western and anti-communist, and he was aware that he posed the main barrier to Soviet ambitions in the Middle East. As distinguished foreign-affairs analyst Hilaire du Berrier noted: “He determined to make Iran capable of blocking a Russian advance until the West should realize to what extent her own interests were threatened and come to his aid…. It necessitated an army of 250,000 men.” The Shah’s air force ranked among the world’s five best. A voice for stability within the Middle East itself, he favored peace with Israel and supplied the beleaguered state with oil.

On the home front, the Shah protected minorities and permitted non-Muslims to practice their faiths. “All faith,” he wrote, “imposes respect upon the beholder.” The Shah also brought Iran into the 20th century by granting women equal rights. This was not to accommodate feminism, but to end archaic brutalization.

Yet, at the height of Iran’s prosperity, the Shah suddenly became the target of an ignoble campaign led by U.S. and British foreign policy makers. Bolstered by slander in the Western press, these forces, along with Soviet-inspired communist insurgents, and mullahs opposing the Shah’s progressiveness, combined to face him with overwhelming opposition. In three years he went from vibrant monarch to exile (on January 16, 1979), and ultimately death, while Iran fell to Ayatollah Khomeini’s terror.

Houchang Nahavandi, one of the Shah’s ministers and closest advisers, reveals in his book The Last Shah of Iran: “We now know that the idea of deposing the Shah was broached continually, from the mid-seventies on, in the National Security Council in Washington, by Henry Kissinger, whom the Shah thought of as a firm friend.”

Kissinger virtually epitomized the American establishment: before acting as Secretary of State under Republicans Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, he had been chief foreign-affairs adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, whom he called “the single most influential person in my life.” Jimmy Carter defeated Ford in the 1976 presidential election, but the switch to a Democratic administration did not change the new foreign policy tilt against the Shah.

Every presidential administration since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s has been dominated by members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the most visible manifestation of the establishment that dictates U.S. foreign policy along internationalist lines. The Carter administration was no exception.

What is the solution to modern Iran? Before listening to war drums, let us remember:

It was the CFR clique — the same establishment entrenched in the Bush and Obama administrations — that ousted the Shah, resulting in today’s Iran. That establishment also chanted for the six-year-old Iraq War over alleged weapons of mass destruction never found.

Therefore, instead of contemplating war with Iran, a nation four times Iraq’s size, let us demand that America shed its CFR hierarchy and their interventionist policy that has wrought decades of misery, and adopt a policy of avoiding foreign entanglements, and of minding our own business in international affairs.
