Fact: Iran IS Out to Destroy Israel... the rumors are TRUE!

Well it really is amazing the level to which certain people will insert their heads into the sand. Like ostriches they carry around a view of the world which looks like everyone wants the same thing and if the war mongers would simply put their weapons away everything would be just dandy.

And the Paul-bots are the worst offenders; lashing out at the notion that Iran could possibly desire to do harm to Israel or the US. Lashing out at the notion that America somehow has a role to play in the world as a bulwark against tyranny and oppression from powers that would slit all of our throats given the slightest opportunity.

Yet that is the very reality we face every day. Protected we are from the harsh realities that exist outside our western walls. Protected by a mighty military force too powerful to be breached by Islamic fundies hell-bent on killing for Allah. And those who choose to ignore this existential threat do so resulting in the peril of us all. And when the evidence is presented they lash out saying "no, it cannot be. The military industrial complex is protecting big corporations and it's all made up hype".

It is a false accusation; a red herring designed to take one's attention away from the man having his head severed from his body in the name of Allah. It is ignoring the women having their clitoris removed or the daughters slaughtered in the name of honor. It is ignoring the stoning of the amorous caught in embrace. It is burying one's talent and an affront to almighty God.

America does have an assignment from heaven. It is her duty to be the wall against worldwide religious disease and hateful dogma. It is her God-given strength which causes pirates to tremble and fascist regimes to crumble. It is her influence which has caused prosperity to flourish and opened doors for the Gospel to go out into the whole world. It is her inventiveness and rugged individualism which has caused knowledge to increase and the ability to travel, both physically and virtually, which has done this. Without America there would be a new Hitler at our door steps with the passing of each generation.

And now we are faced with a new terror. Iran, or ancient Persia, is at a place of achievement. Iran is on the verge of having the most destructive weapon ever conceived. One bomb dropped on Japan killed 80,000 people instantly. That is one third of the population of that city - dead - in an instant. America did it to end a war. Iran wishes to start one.

The wife of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist who was assassinated in Tehran in January, said Tuesday that her husband "sought the annihilation of the Zionist regime wholeheartedly," according to Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.

"Mostafa's ultimate goal was the annihilation of Israel," the agency quoted Fatemeh Bolouri Kashani as saying Tuesday.

And now a website with close ties to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has outlined why it would be acceptable to kill all Jews and annihilate Israel.

Conservative site Alef has published a doctrine detailing why the destruction of the nation and the slaughter of all its people would be legally and morally justified.

The doctrine, first reported by WND.com, warned that the chance to remove the 'corrupting material' of Israel must not be lost - and that it would only take nine minutes to wipe it out.

And it said it was a 'jurisprudential justification' for Iran's Islamic government to then take the helm.

The article, written by Khamenei's strategy specialist Alireza Forghani, is now being run on most state-owned conservative sites, indicating it has the regime's support.

So the rumors really are true. Iran really is trying to gain the advantage so that it can wipe Israel off the map. It is receiving assistance from Russia, China, and North Korea. Let us reject the obtuse thought patterns which would reject the reality on the ground. Let us also reject any candidate which would applaud the objectives outlined by the Iranians themselves. Let us continue to fulfill our assignment from the Lord. Because, as Ronald Reagan once said, if America fails, the world has nowhere else to turn.
