Axis of Bad: Many of the Very Worst People Are United Against Trump's Iran Strikes

Guy Benson / Townhall Tipsheet

 

'If [fill in the blank] is upset, that must be a good sign.'  We've all heard some variation of this political argument before.  It's negative partisanship, distilled.  I typically find such reductive pronouncements to be unhelpful and intellectually sloppy, but on occasion, they can be helpful and illustrative. President Trump's decision to strike a trio of the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons facilities presents a scenario in which the coalition of opposition helps make the case for why it was the right call.  There are some people with good-faith and thoughtful reasons they're against, or at least skeptical of, that American operation. 

 

But a broader, cursory examination of those who are most virulently angry about it (excluding many of the worst regimes across the globe) reveals a veritable murderer's row of the Chronically Wrong and the Fundamentally Bad.  I'd go so far as to say that if this exact group were to be collectively arrayed one one side of an issue of consequence, I'd likely find myself on the opposite side of them 99 times out of 100, if not all 100.

Tehran will restore its nuclear program, Iranian atomic chief vows

Mohammad Eslami says Iran prepped in advance for damage to nuclear sites; IAEA chief welcomes uncertain truce, urges Tehran to pursue diplomatic solution

Iran is assessing the damage to its nuclear industry following Israel’s intensive 12-day campaign against it, and arrangements have been made for its restoration, Iran’s nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami said Tuesday.

“The plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services,” Eslami said, according to Iran’s state-owned Mehr News, claiming that Tehran had been prepared for damage to its nuclear sites.

Iran’s nuclear program took serious blows in Israel’s bombings since June 13, and particularly early on Sunday, when the US dropped massive bunker-buster munitions and fired missiles at three of its nuclear facilities, joining the Israeli campaign.
