Iraq: The Wrong War by Leonard Peikoff
Iran–not Iraq–is the primary threat to American interest in the Middle East and has been since it confiscated our oil fields in the 1950s. Iran is the major sponsor of international terrorism throughout the world and is the country most responsible for lethal attacks on American citizens. For these reasons, Iran fully deserves bloody retribution.
End States That Sponsor Terrorism by Leonard Peikoff
Fifty years of increasing American appeasement in the Mideast have led to fifty years of increasing contempt in the Muslim world for the U.S. The climax was September 11, 2001.
Death to Theocracy: America Must Act Now to Bring Down Iran’s Regime by Robert W. Tracinski
The reasons for toppling Iran’s theocracy are far stronger–and more certain–than the reasons for invading Iraq.
Iran, Not So Far Away by Scott Holleran
While the world seems locked in an endless debate over whether to strike even one state sponsor of terrorism — Iraq — the religious dictatorship chiefly responsible for the wave of Islamic fundamentalism that culminated in the Sept. 11 attack on America is becoming an imminent nuclear threat.
The Real Revolutionaries by Robert W. Tracinski
For months, courageous protesters have braved riot police to oppose the depredations of a warlike and oppressive regime bent on world domination. No, I am not talking about the “anti-war” protesters who menace the cities of Europe and America–the creeps who scale the barricade of a Starbucks storefront for no greater goal than the glee of smashing its windows. These are only brave and idealistic souls in their own warped self-image. I am talking about real courage and real idealism–the kind shown by the young men and women manning the very real and very deadly barricades of freedom in Iran–the students who, armed with nothing but a burning conviction of the rightness of their cause, are facing down a brutal theocratic dictatorship.
“Death to America” by Daniel Pipes
In retrospect, the mistake began when Iranians assaulted the U.S. embassy in Tehran and met with no Amrican resistance.
The Road to Victory Goes Through Tehran by Robert W. Tracinski
An end to the threat of Islamic terrorism requires, not just the toppling of one state sponsor of terrorism in Iraq, but the toppling of the regime that is the Middle East’s most active promoter of terrorism–and the most virulent center of the ideology behind Islamic terrorism: the theocracy that rules Iran.
Iran is the Root of Islamic Terrorism by Joseph Kellard
Iran is the root of Islamic terrorism, and destroying its theocracy would be a major victory in the war on terrorists. But in this war the Bush administration takes an inverted, appeasing approach. Bush not only fails to declare that the US will us force to topple Iran’s regime; he’s busy appeasing Palestinian terrorists that are mere heads of the Iranian hydra.
