That's the downside of the present Iranian crisis. The upside is that the Jewish people now have the means to defend themselves against another vile dictatorship that is bragging daily about the threatened upcoming destruction of Israel in fiery speeches and obsessive propaganda bulletins.

This time, hopefully, there will be no scenes of Jewish people being herded like sheep to the slaughterhouse.

If a few Israeli jets and their pilots could be transported back in time, just imagine the havoc they could wreak on the murderous Nazis and their camps.

That can't happen. It's just fantasy. But those planes can take off to disable or destroy Iran's nuclear sites.

There is an old Irish proverb that says: "You don't wait for the big wind to thatch your cabin".

Just as Hitler could more easily have been stopped if the Western nations had tackled his regime at an earlier stage, such as his re-occupying of the Rhineland in 1936, Israel has the potential to stop the Persian tyrants in their tracks. Sooner has to be better than later.

World recession… higher oil prices… increased political instability… further terrorist outrages…

Not a pleasant prospect, but what a small price to pay for avoiding a second Holocaust.
