The corrupt and oppressive regime of the ayatollahs cannot be far from the position Nicolai Ceausescu reached in Romania in 1989
A week ago, on Jan. 3, Tony Burman, a contributor to the Toronto Star and former long-time employee of the CBC and then of Al Jazeera, wrote in the Star: “The assassination of Iran’s second most powerful leader at the direction of U.S. President Donald Trump will likely have the same seismic impact on the modern history of the Middle East that the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq had in 2003. It will be interpreted in Iran and beyond as an act of war.
He laid out a rich panoply of widely shared leftist misconceptions that helps explain the complete failure of modern leftist government in the West It is precisely Trump’s appreciation and reinforcement of the American strategic position that has already demonstrated the complete falsity of Burman’s predictions of “severe Iranian retaliation” and a “seismic impact … like the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.” The Iranian retaliation was a fireworks display of 16 missiles carefully fired into Iraq from Iran to avoid disturbing a single American.
Trump didn’t react when the Iranians blew up the principal Saudi oil refining capacity last year; he will not fight Saudi Arabia’s battles for it
