Few Presidents have had to confront the incredibly difficult set of decisions now before President Trump.  Help Israel? Help how? Allow Iran to reconstitute its nuclear program if Israel can’t finish the job with its own arsenal? The President is right- Iran, a country whose motto is “Death to America”cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Full stop. That is peace through strength. That is America First. President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he should be doing: stating a clear red line (and a very reasonable one), and leaving all options on the table to deal with it. No, none of this means we get dragged into a war. That is highly simplistic thinking. There are lots of options in between doing nothing and literally sending in the Marines.  Let’s not forget, Trump’s first presidency was marked by maximum pressure on Iran–he ordered the strike on Soleimani, Iran’s chief exporter of terror–all while not leading us into a war with Iran.   Let the President do his job and let’s back him up.
