Email to President Bush on Iran

* I sent President Bush the following email as Iran heightens its war against Israel -- and by extension the United States. The emails almost certainly never get to the hands of the president, but they are read by his staff and the issues and ideas people write about most, in some form, trickle down to him. You can email the president at: president@whitehouse.gov.

President Bush,

When are you going to finally destroy the terrorist-sponsoring regime in Iran? This is the only reason I voted for you in 2004. Post-9/11 you said you would end states that sponsor anti-American and anti-Western terrorism, Iran has for decades been the premier terrorist state, and the Iranians are openly demonstrating this fact in Iraq, Israel, Lebanon and Gaza today. So what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Iran to get nukes and use them?

You’d better immediately drop what you should never have started -- that is, diplomatic concessions and (attempted) talks with Iran -- and get down to all-out military action against the mullahs and ayatollahs. Otherwise, you have failed completely on what your presidency is based on most: protecting the American people, including U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, from our would-be destroyers.
