Killing Iranian general makes us safer | Letter to the editor

Typically, Democratic politicians and their many media sycophants have clouded what is a clear cut case with obfuscation and deception.

The clear facts are twofold. First, the question of whether another attack by Soleimani was imminent is moot. He has been in a continuous and constantly escalating state of war with our country for decades, and unless the recent attack on our embassy was his last hurrah (a ridiculous assumption) more were in the pipeline. He was the leader of all this. How his death cannot be seen as making us safer is impossible to fathom.

Second, the idea that killing him boosts Iranian hardliners and harms Iranian moderates ignores what recently happened to the 1,500 “moderate” demonstrators who were shot dead in Iranian streets just two weeks ago. “Iranian moderate” is an oxymoron.

So long as the tyrants hold power, there can be no such thing. Goodbye to the murderer Soleimani, and good riddance, and to his successor: beware.
