A Time To Gather Stones Together For Iran

Mideast: Years of a growing nuclear threat plus recent developments are converging to signify that the time for waiting is over. Either the United States, or the Israelis backed by the U.S., must act against Iran.

'To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose," the Book of Ecclesiastes says. "A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing ... a time of war, and a time of peace."

With the intensification of the greatest threat to the world since that of nuclear-armed communist domination in the last century, it has become a time to refrain from embracing and instead reluctantly gather the stones of pre-emptive self-defense.

The hand-flung desert weaponry familiar to Moses and Christ has given way to laser-guided explosives delivered from above, and these sophisticated instruments have the ability to neutralize Iran's nuclear web, dispersed widely within its borders and, in the case of many of its components, well buried.

It would be a massive operation to thwart a massive threat, and it might not succeed in destroying every target. But we would do well to remember the words of President Reagan to the nation on the night of our bombing of Libya's terrorist facilities in 1986:

"There is no security, no safety, in the appeasement of evil. It must be the core of Western policy that there be no sanctuary for terror. And to sustain such a policy, free men and free nations must unite and work together."

Yes, it should be done.

For that matter, it should have been done six years ago, when the program was far less advanced, and the mad mullahs were already making their nuclear agenda quite clear.

>>>>”A Time To Gather Stones Together For Iran”.

What a Brilliant title.

So long as stones are not the only things thrown at Iran. A “robust” discussion require much more robust reply in this case!

The only way the Kenyan might consent to effective action against his ally in Iran is if it might turn around the elections in November to the Left’s favor.
