All Roads Lead Back to Tehran

Added: May 10, 2008 Rating 0 Comments Discuss
The Editors

In today’s Featured Debate, we see Lebanon on the brink of its third civil war.

To some, it may appear that Hezbollah is the culprit, but that conclusion mistakes the trees for the forest.  All should by now be awake to the fact that in the ongoing conflicts in Lebanon, Israel and Iraq, all roads lead back to Tehran.

Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Shiite militias in Iraq.  It all leads back to Tehran.  As long as the mullahs are given enough room to maneuver, there will be war in the Middle East.  As long as our cowardly Western leaders fail to act in the face of this reality, there will be war in the Middle East.  They may deceive themselves into thinking that by not confronting the mullahs they valiantly avoid war.  In fact, they prolong it.
