OPINION
Trump Did the Right Thing

In ordering the bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran, President Trump did the right thing, for the right reason, and at the right time.
As usual, some in the major media got it wrong. The New York Times initially headlined: "U.S. Enters War Against Iran." A Washington Post editorial said: "Trump did not prepare America for his war with Iran."
The U.S. has effectively been at war with Iran since 1979 when "Iranian students" seized the American Embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostages for 444 days before releasing them, apparently fearing what incoming president Ronald Reagan might do. Trump turned that fear into a reality. In a brief Saturday night address, the president said all of Iran's nuclear capabilities were "obliterated," though the extent of the damage has not yet been confirmed. He then warned any retaliatory strikes on Americans would be met with even more disaster for the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Addressing the "are we, or are we not at war with Iran," the president said: "For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs, with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over 1,000 people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East, and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate. ... So many were killed by their general, Qassim Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue."
Khamenei has reportedly retreated to a bunker, as did Adolf Hitler at the end of World War II. The difference is that Hitler committed suicide fearing capture by the Allies while Khamenei is said to be naming his successors should he be killed and is reported to have said he is willing to die as a martyr. This is another major difference between the two leaders. The defeat of Hitler squashed Nazism in Germany. Should Khamenei be toppled, it won't completely defeat radical Islamism. That's because it is a virus that does not respond to a diplomatic "vaccine." Still, the bombing may have set back Iran's nuclear bomb capabilities for a very long time, hopefully forever.
