Go Ahead and Prepare for the Next War, It's Coming

Iranian media outlets have criticized the French government for its statements condemning Iran's nuclear program and France is not ruling out a military solution to the problem. France's newly elected president, Nicolas Sarkosy, is finally renewing his country's integrity in my eyes by finally taking a strong stance on national security, something they haven't been doing during the current War on Terror. The U.S. and many of its allies have also kept military action as an option if Iran keeps violating UN sanctions and continues with its nuclear ambitions. You can read the full story by Yahoo!

First of all, I am not advocating starting another war. Our troops are already committed to other areas, mainly Iraq and Afghanistan, and the only way we could take on another project is to cease operations in these areas or to reinstate the draft. Neither of these is a sensible option, so we must first try diplomacy to fix the problem. If that does not work after several attempts, and our troops become available, we need to go in with the advice of several well-respected generals who have a clear-cut plan to win the war as well as a sound exit strategy. We need to learn from our mistakes in Iraq, and do this thing the right way, or don't do it at all. I am not looking for a war, but the United States has to stay on the offensive with these terrorists, and not let them have the first strike like we did on 9/11.

Again, I really don't want this to happen, but the way things are going, I don't see it going any other way. The Iranian government views the United States and countries like Israel as the enemy, and will do anything in its power to crush them, and we must do everything in our power to keep that from happening.
