Should the U.S. Use Military Force Against Iran?

Once a distant, mysterious land, the U.S. has become intensely embroiled in Middle Eastern politics. While simultaneously waging campaigns in both Afghanistan and Iraq, America has turned a wary eye to Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons. With the lives of potentially thousands of soldiers and citizens at stake in both countries, should the U.S. take direct military action against Iran?

The Iran Threat Should Be Taken Seriously

Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights

The inspiration for this proxy war is Iran's ideological goal of subjugating the world under totalitarian Islamic rule. Iran is a leading sponsor of the jihadist movement and the self-identified role model for exporting Islamic totalitarianism to other countries. It is the sworn enemy of the West. We should take seriously its call to bring "Death to America!"--because it has already done so.

That's why we urgently need to swing down the sledge hammer of America's military forces to thoroughly defeat the Iranian regime.

Does that mean another quagmire like Iraq? No. The campaign in Iraq is a global-welfare mission--not a real war designed to advance our self-defense.
