As a Syrian-American, I will be the first to tell you that the Iranian regime is an evil one, they have killed members of my extended family using their proxies, if not their own soldiers. They called Syria's war a "civil war", yet it was fought by Russian, Iranian, and Hezbollah troops all joining together with Bashar al-Assad to slaughter Syrian citizens. I bring this up now, because at any moment the President is going to give the order to retaliate against the Iranians for the recent attack on our personnel that left three American heroes without their lives. I understand the situation the President is in, and I understand that we must respond. What worries me is how quickly this can escalate into an all-out war with Iran that would require troops on the ground for yet another forever war in the Middle East. No one wants that, but most of all the American people do not want that. Despite the fact that I strongly disagree with how the President has handled the Israeli-Palestinian war and the one-sided approach this administration has taken supporting Israel while leaving innocent Palestinians to suffer, pragmatically speaking – I can disagree with the President on that issue and trust him to make the right call on how to respond to Iran. The response must be effective yet measured, attacking American personnel can never be allowed and must be responded to accordingly. What worries me is folks that had nothing at all to do with this attack getting caught in the crossfire and we have to read headline after headline about "collateral damage". Make no mistake about it, if that happens not only will this escalate things, but also we will lose even more trust from the global community. |
