Time for U.S. First Strike Against Iran

Dear President Bush,

On behalf of the many U.S. citizens who admire your courage in fighting the War on Terror in the face of hugely unfair criticism at home and abroad, I thank you for your bravery. Doing the right thing is not always popular. The right thing is not subject to a majority vote. Even if polls found your policies to be 100% wrong, that does not make it wrong.

The issues of right and wrong were never dependent on consensus.

Thus, it is with heaviness of heart that I urge you today to do what will surely be viewed as a horrible deed, even though it is quite honorable and a course of action that may save the world from yet another Holocaust. I urge you to attack Iran now. It is time for the United States to move to take out all known nuclear facilities in Iran.

As you well know, news reports today from the Arab Republic World News quotes Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad as proclaiming Iran as the world's latest nuclear power. With that proclamation he once again stated that his ultimate goal was the complete destruction of Israel, Great Britain, and the United States.

There is no doubt that he will start with Israel.

Ahamdinejad is no doubt the greatest threat the world has seen to Jewish people since the second World War. However, his ability to wreak havoc in the world may well surpass the strength of the Nazi army, given the fact that the network of terrorists connected to Iran and other nations in the region is world-wide. In addition, the fact that these terrorists now have access to nuclear weapons poses a risk that perhaps the free world has never before witnessed...at least not since the days of the Cold War.

It is my firm belief that one of the reasons for the stalemate in Iraq is the terrorist insurgency perpetrated by Iran and Al Qaida. In order to stabilize the region, not only should we send more troops to Iraq, but our naval and air forces should launch attacks on Iran, targeting the nuclear sites as well as the central offices of the Iranian government.

This will send a clear signal to the region, to terrorists, and to the world, that as the world's only remaining super-power, the United States will not tolerate threats aimed at the annihilation of entire societies by rogue nations with nuclear bombs.

Mr. President, in January you will face a major hurdle in accomplishing any progress on the War on Terror. With Democrats slated to control Congress very shortly, you have a very narrow window of opportunity to set in motion a chain of events that will free the world from the scourge of Mahmoud Ahamdinejad. Your opponents in Congress, unfortunately, are eerily similar to Parliament in Great Britain prior to WWII, choosing the cowardly response of sticking its head in the sand and pretending Hitler was not there, or choosing yet another course of action that only emboldened Hitler--negotiation and appeasement. Winston Churchill was a very unpopular solitary voice in Parliament at that time. The majority viewed him as a 'war-monger,' yet it was precisely he to whom Britain turned at their critical hour of need.

These dastardly cowards that will control Congress will put this nation at great risk. You must move before they get a chance.

I recognize that a course of action of this magnitude will require much deliberation and soul-searching...and courage. Please be assured, Mr. President, that I will stand with you in this endeavor. And I am not the only patriotic American who feels this way. There are millions of us out here who will stand with you, even as far as offering our services where needed, if necessary.

Be assured of my continued prayers as you make difficult decisions concerning the future of the United States and the rest of the free world.

Sincerely,
D. Martyn Lloyd-Morgan
