A word to the wise

Reader comment on item: Tour d'Horizon: ISIS, Iran, Turkey, and the Palestinians

Submitted by martin (United States), Jan 15, 2015 at 16:50

When time is short one comes to the point quickly. I consider myself well-informed, in Politics, and in Arts and Letters. Here we have a most impressive summation of the critical issues facing the West delivered by one whom we all acknowledge knows whereof he speaks. That should be sufficient to get our serious attention.

To presume to comment I'll be equally brief:

I can visualize the operational solution to a clear danger presented by Iran. We have power to destroy the nuclear ambitions of Iran. Without a decision to act, however, we stand impotent.

Turkey will be on our watch list.

In the matter of any Arabs unassociated with any known national entity how does one move an unmovable object. Transfer, said Ben Shapiro, is not a dirty word.
