[IMC-Editorial] Letter to the Editor: US Should Support Revolt Against Iran's Theocracy

[The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

As the July 9 general strike in Iran approaches,
the United States should do everything within its power to ensure that
the popular revolt against Iran's theocracy succeeds in overthrowing
the regime.

Iran presents a much greater danger to the United States' security
than did Iraq or Afghanistan.

Iran--as acknowledged even by the terrorist appeasers at the State
Department--is the most active sponsor of terrorism in the world,
supporting terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic
Jihad. Moreover, Iran--alongside Saudi Arabia--is the main source of
Islamic fundamentalism in the world today, and thus the principal
ideological enemy of the United States and the free world.

Iran is openly developing a nuclear weapons program, and has gone as
far as threatening to use its soon-to-be-produced nuclear weapons
against Israel, America's only true friend in the region. If Iran's
mad mullahs are willing to strike Israel, the "Small Satan," they
would not hesitate to strike their arch-enemy, America, the "Great
Satan."

President Bush was right when he said eighteen months ago, in his
State of the Union Address, that "time is not on our side." The
President told the country and the world that he would not "wait on
events, while dangers gather." But dangers *have* gathered and time is
running out. In a speech at West Point a year ago President Bush
promised: "The United States will, if necessary, act preemptively."

Let's roll. Before it's too late.

Sincerely,

David Holcberg
