It's Time to Take Action Against Iran's Nuclear Facilities

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a message by telephone over the weekend to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress that "Now is the time to halt the Iranian nuclear program." Netanyahu followed that with "If not now, then when?" Today Iran test fired short-range missiles. This is just a few days before Iran is to meet with Western leaders over concerns of Iran's recently discovered nuclear facility in Geneva, Switzerland. On Friday President Obama revealed at the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh of a clandestine nuclear facility that Iran has. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the recently discovered nuclear plant was built for peaceful purposes such as making electricity. However, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Saturday that the newly exposed nuclear facility in Iran was built for military purposes and it was proof the Islamic Republic is seeking atomic weapons.

Haartez.com reported that the Israeli leaders have repeatedly expressed alarm over Iran's nuclear ambitions and refused to rule out pre-emptive military action to stop Iran from developing an atomic weapon. Who can blame Israel? I find it very frustrating that former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brezezinski under Jimmy Carter instructed the U.S. military to shoot down Israeli jets if they attempt to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. That shows whose side Brezezinski is on. The Iranian threat is more extensive than just Israel and the Middle East. This also involves the West. It also involves the United States whom the Islamic world considers the "Great Satan." You have a dictator in Iran whom you can't trust. With Iran firing missiles today Ahmadinejad has shown that he's determined to defy the sanctions that's been placed upon him. He doesn't fear test-firing missiles because he knows that the U.S. or the U.N. isn't going to stop him.

President Obama said that Iran must come clean regarding it's nuclear facilities or it could face sanctions that could "bite". Obama needs to do more than just use rhetoric. He needs to match his rhetoric with action. It's time the U.S. steps up to the plate and use airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilites and destroy them now before Ahmadinejad becomes more powerful than what he is now. I don't believe we should send ground troops to Iran. But I believe the U.S. should use air power to wipe out all of Iran's nuclear capabilities. I also believe that Ahmadinejad needs to be disposed as well. The quicker the "Iranian Hitler" can be taken out the better. If Ahmadinejad is left to his own devices, we could have a nuclear "World War III" on our hands. We have a weak president and weak leadership in Congress who don't want to stand against the threat of tyranny. You can't appease a corrupt ruler like Ahmadinejad and not suffer the consequences. Former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler and anyone who's read history knows what kind of atrocities Adolf Hitler committed. Ahmadinejad will commit the same atrocities if we don't destroy Iran's nuclear potential and take him out now. He is anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. We can't afford to wait any longer to dispose of him.

The United States needs to demand that any U.S. corporation that's involved in any type of trade deals with Iran to be ceased immediately. I believe there should be penalities placed on U.S. corporations if they continue conducting business with Iran. Our government as well as our corporations need to be on the same page when it comes to halting Iran's nuclear program. We don't want to help Iran economically as long as Ahmadinejad is in power. Any money that Iran receives will more than likely go towards building nuclear weapons. We must stop Iran now or we will face a nuclear showdown!
