There are a lot of other terrorist targets we ought to be focusing on. Well, there is Syria, for example, which is pumping through - because of Iran, is pumping weapons on into Hezbollah and so forth - which is then producing a lot of agony in Palestine and in Israel. We ought to be doing a bit to try to stop that. ↗

Iran is a country of 80 million people, educated and dynamic. It sits astride a crucial part of the world. It cannot be sanctioned and pressed down forever. It is the last great civilization to sit outside the global order. ↗

Iran is part of the problem, not the solution. And the Russian government is ignoring reality. ↗

We cannot win this war on terror if people are undercutting us. And one way to undercut us is to empower Iran. ↗

I don't think a wise thing at this moment is for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran. ↗
