** What it Takes to be a Global Moral Leader ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, the United States, Israel, the Sunni Arab nations, and the free Western world should sleep a little easier, knowing that one of the world's most notorious terrorists, Qassem Soleimani, has been eliminated from the face of the Earth. Known as the "shadow commander," Soleimani was a major general in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the commander of the notorious Quds Force and their clandestine external terrorist operation.
This is a major, significant development and indicates that the United States under President Trump can and will take bold, decisive, and precise moves when it comes to our national security interests. It came about immediately after our men were attacked in Iraq and when hordes of Shiite forces were storming the U.S embassy in Iraq.
Soleimani was the master architect and chief implementer of a grand geostrategic design for exporting the Iranian revolution and for creating a Shiite religious theocracy and Iranian-controlled dictatorship throughout the Middle East, where he created a network of paramilitary terrorist organizations. He sowed the seeds for the extreme chaos in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza.
