Conciliation will backfire

The Spokesman-Review

No matter how much we try to placate Iran, it is going to be perceived as weakness on our part. The only thing understood by this type of mentality, is strength.

America is the last and possibly only option left to secure the prospect of peace in this world. If we continue on this path of playing with words and phrases, instead of stopping the progress toward annihilation of one or more nations, by a rogue mentality, then we have relinquished our position and will no longer be the greatest, most powerful nation on Earth. We will find ourselves bowing to our enemies while showing our backside to our allies.

I fear we are already in such a position. God, help us. Please, stand up for what is right. If we turn a deaf ear to our friends in their time of need, who will be there to help us in our time of need?
