Michael Ledeen has written an essay entitled “Iran and the Problem of Evil.” Now it is obvious the title corresponds to the saber rattling that has been occurring between Iran versus the USA and Israel.
The thing Ledeen successfully accomplishes in the essay is not focusing on Iran as the evil. Ledeen quite matter-of-factly includes the radical Sunnis and Shi’ites together as a movement that is evil and threatening to the West’s existence.
Ledeen quite nicely condemns the political leaders of the West of the same moronic stupidity that was in the air when Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy publicly pronounced what their agenda was while the Democratic West viewed it all as the ravings of evil political leaders that not only had no bite to their bark but could not believe sane political leaders would embark on creating a war that would mean the deaths of millions.
The just could not see past their idealistic noses.
This is NOT a Politically Correct essay and IT IS well worth the read.
