Sanctions Don’t Work Against Terrorists

Can we get beyond this silly, absurd notion that UN sanctions will deter terrorist states from seeking terrorist weapons to achieve terrorist goals? The UN is useless at best and, at worst, corruptly colluding with America’s enemies – and asking us to foot the tab. Israel’s military, on the other hand, has a track record of quickly and decisively achieving their stated objectives.

It’s a no brainer which side to back if you actually want to achieve results in Iran. As president, I would not declare war against Iran, but I would make it clear that they have declared war against us and I would set about bringing down the current regime much like we brought about the demise of the Soviet Union. I believe we can do it without sacrificing any American lives.

In the meantime, if Israel knows where they’re building nuclear weapons and wants to shut down the operation, I might even chip in for gas.

Support Israel

My administration will be staunchly pro-Israel. We will not, as many adminsitrations have done, seek to tie their hands behind their back while the nations around them do harm to their people and their way of life.

The Devil You Know…

Foreign policy is very complicated. It’s made more complicated when the president is either uniformed or has bad intentions. In either case, I’m not sure I see the benefit in overthrowing a dictator who posed little threat in support of a rebel group who turns out to desire to implement Sharia Law.

Seems like a little more thought could’ve gone into this decision. Ditto, Egypt.

The announcement that Islamic sharia law will be the basis of legislation in newly liberated Libya has raised concerns, especially among women, despite Islamists insisting moderation will prevail.
