Townhall Review | Conservative Commentary On Today... - Seth Leibsohn: Iran's Third Assassination Plot on Donald Trump

The late philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote that the power of toxic ideologies, like fascism and communism—once they take hold—can prove impossible to reform. Now add apocalyptic theocracy to that fascism and you have a rough understanding of Iran’s leadership. The West, and hopefully many in the Trump administration, are learning that now. As the Wall Street Journal and others reported, Iranian leadership plotted its third assassination on President Donald Trump last week.  This, after the United States had already decimated Iran’s military.  Federal courts have previously identified two other plots to assassinate Donald Trump, as well as several of his former cabinet officials. While many Americans recoil at notions of regime change in Iran, Iranian leadership has no such compunction about trying to affect regime change in America—and via assassination.  And: It appears almost nothing will shake Iran’s fascist theocracy into moderation or civility. This is who and what we are fighting in Iran.  Let’s complete the job and help make gentler the life of this world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
