If you give a mouse a cookie...
You know he'll become emboldened and ask for a glass of milk, right?
What if you let a radical enrich uranium? Then he'll start speaking out against his enemies! And yet again!
A dark time is ahead if things don't change here, as Iran's President continues to speak out against against Israel and the United States (as Joel Rosenberg notes).
It seems to be much like the era of the 1930's as Bill Kristol wrote about in recent days, when the world could have done something about Hitler to prevent the events of WWII but did little or nothing, learning the hard way that appeasement isn't a course of action that works. Which is in line with comments that Benjamin Netanyahu (former PM of Israel) has made of numerous occasions about the mindset of the the people in the Middle East - that appeasement only invites more carange and mayhem, that if someone hits, you hit back twice as hard, or prevent them from hitting you in the first place.
Rosenberg also mentions Russia in recent posts, and how nearly half of the people in russia favor Putin having a third term, something that is currently unconstitutional for them to do.
Why would I mention Iran and Russia in the same "breath"? Aside from the fact that Iran, through Russia, has an ally on the United Nations Security Council - someone that will work to move against any action that the United States or the EU 3 want to take against Iran through the vessel of the UNSC - and that there is an alliance between the two nations (through weapons selling and Russia willing to assist Iran with nuclear proliferation, albeit on Russian soil), I believe that the fate of both nations is tied together, as one rises and falls so will the other.
Hugh Hewitt also has some links on "Iran and the American Left". As Hugh suggests, I also do - take a look at Regime Change Iran, probably the best place to keep up on what is happening inside and outside Iran, and how that affects Iran and the rest of the world.
Remember though, these wise and immortal words - "all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"
We aren't doing anything as of right now, as it has even been admitted that "our policy has been all carrots but no sticks"
If that's the case, evil will triumph...
May it never be...
