This is a snip of it:
"We must not only wipe out Iran's terrorist sanctuaries, its training
camps, and its military capability. We must also do the equivalent of
de-Nazifying the country, by expelling every official and bringing down every
branch of its government. This is a goal that cannot be achieved painlessly,
by bombs and missiles alone. It requires invasion by ground troops, who will
be at serious risk, and perhaps a period of occupation. But nothing less will
"end the state" that most cries out to be ended.
The greatest obstacle to U.S. victory is not Iran and its allies, but our
own intellectuals. Even now, they are preaching the same ideas that led to
our historical paralysis. They are asking a reeling nation, in the name of
"restraint," to apply only economic and diplomatic pressures, like those that
have failed so spectacularly and for so long. The multiculturalist professors
are pushing "understanding" in the name of avoiding "racism" (i.e., any
condemnation of "another culture").The friends of "love" are reminding us,
not too loudly yet, of our duty to turn the other cheek.

First of all, I don't feel any certainty that the late Rand would advocate
this position. If this war shriek is heeded, it's going to be prison-time
for those in the US who oppose this. Where is the evidence of Iran's
complicity? We don't like their "thinking?" Doesn't anybody consider
evidence any longer? It's beginning to look to me that any nation that dare
defy the US politically is going to be annihilated completely.

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
