"Is a Preemptive Strike in the Offing?" by Peter Burrows 4/12/24 elburropete@gmail,com 

This is a very important read. When Obama said Iran wouldn't use nuclear weapons because it would be against their religion, he was 180° wrong. Here's a link to the article:

I'm glad to see that an MSM writer with a following has spelled out this apocalyptic Shia doctrine. Maybe somebody will inform Trump, who's as clueless as Old Joe.  From the article:  

"Shi'ites believe that Allah's kingdom will be established on earth by the Twelfth or Hidden Imam, whose "second coming" can be accelerated by creating the right set of circumstances, namely, the fomenting of violent upheavals in a holocaust of blood and fire among the nations of the earth — in particular, Israel. And the mullahs are just crazy enough to bring such a cataclysm to pass."

I wrote about this many years ago in "Monsters from the Id" which uses the old sci-fi movie, Forbidden Planet, as metaphor for our times. The conclusion is still relevant, more than ever:  

"The Iranians say they are not trying to build nuclear weapons, and even if true for now, their long range intentions are very suspect. They've been waiting for the Mahdi for over 11 centuries. A few more years, or decades, to gather the means to start the final confrontation with the Satanic West is of little import. 

"The number one question: Are they really planning to start a nuclear holocaust as a religious imperative?  If so, preemptive war, not Neville Chamberlain, is the only rational course of action.. 

"Question number two, maybe it's really number one: Do we have the moral courage for such a course of action?"
