Those three words were first used by then President Woodrow Wilson in his “Fourteen Points” in regards to the formation of the “League of Nations,” and were simply his personal take on what he hoped would become a harbinger for international peace after World War I...nothing more, nothing less. And yet the use of those words today has been hijacked by some to mean but a push for a “one world government” solely controlled by both the political elite and the super wealthy.
And the popularization of the words intended meaning, as it relates to today's political discourse, came courtesy of President George H. W. Bush who used those very words ad-nauseam during the 1990's at the time of the Persian Gulf War. Applying it in relation to what was then being heralded by some as but a way to help “shift,” if you will, not only the then current “balance of power,” but to further unite already allied nations in the hopes of forming what Bush referred to as a new “geopolitical order.” But what Bush failed to see was the dangers involved in such a “shift” what with he and his supporters seeing it as being akin to what followed at the end of the “Cold War”...a time when sides were definitively drawn and basically locked into place in regards to the East v. the West and Socialism/Communism v. Democracy scenario...a scenario unfortunately still ongoing today.And why is all that I just stated important, and exactly how does it relate to the ongoing U.S./Israeli what is in reality a “war with Iran?” The answer is simply because a “new world order” is indeed unfolding right before our very eyes, and we all best be prepared for it after having ignored its warning signs since 1979, the very year when the Shah of Iran's government was forcibly overthrown by islamic fanatics...overthrown and being replaced by a theocracy so mired down in the religious blood-lust of the past that it became the modern day world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and overtly defined terrorist acts.
How so...simply by Iran becoming an expert in the art of modern day “public relations.”
And Iran accomplished this courtesy of their not just being able to manipulate, and hence control the media discourse, but in the fact that their visibly successful 1979 “Islamic Revolution” was then being broadcast worldwide. And when the new “supreme leader” of Iran...as in the now (thankfully) deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei...started using this new found way to bolster up the success of the revolution, coupled with his using the “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps” to finance, train, and arm Iran's now growing list of “proxy armies”...armies scattered throughout the the Middle East and beyond...Iran did indeed become a force to be reckoned with that the West simply tried to ignore.
And while 1979's “Islamic Revolution” did at least see the word “terrorism” now becoming part of the western vernacular, it still did not become something that we in the West really feared, that is until the fateful morning of September 11, 2001 when we and the nations of the “free world” finally woke up to the fact that many did not like us, our countries, our governments or our so-called lifestyles very much.
And so the words “Death to Israel, Death to America” (“Marg bar Esra'il, Marg bar Âmrika” in Iranian Persian) have now become the official catch phrase for Iran to work off of, if you will. And these six simple words became Iran's means by which to not only undermine the pecking order of its own power seeking Mideast rivals, but words they used to project a sense of psychological power over its real targeted enemies...as in Israel and America. And Iran did so by their continuing to engage in overt acts of terrorism throughout both Israel and the Western world...and quite successfully I might add...without their having to fight a conventional blood and guts war. That is of course before Iran came up against the combined likes of President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that is.
Simply, while Iran was busy becoming experts at making threats and feigning power...aided in their endeavors by the past actions of Barack Hussein Obama and the inaction of Joe Biden...Donald Trump was busy preparing for war...word semantics be damned. And Iran's leaders had to know that it was only a matter of time before what were the musings of war actually became the reality of war as long as Trump was president. And with the victor being the combined forces of the U.S. and Israel...courtesy of Operation Epic Fury” and “Operation Roaring Lion” respectively...the words a “new world order” would surely once again come into play...which they obviously have, but in today's world the context of those words is different than what those words were thought to mean in the past.
How so? Because while the war with Iran has seen a decided yet not totally unexpected shift in power what with the gulf nations having become recipients of Iran's retaliatory ire, a “new world order “ was born whether it be intentional or not. And at the head of said order now rightfully sits President Donald J. Trump and the U.S...with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel by his side of course. But do know that it's a new type of “world order” that will not infringe upon any nation's sovereignty, while at the same time being based upon the framework of both the “Abraham Accords” and the mantra of “peace through strength” having been achieved.
And while the naysayers here at home...mostly Democrats and a few wayward Republicans who seemingly have lost their way...now whine that this war we find ourselves in is really Israel's war and not our war, sees these folks choosing to forget the fact that the “rules-based international order” they so love to cite as to the reason why, was in fact contrived by the UN for a specific purpose. And so the very organization that relishes in its disproportionate intervening on behalf of the Palestinian cause, put into place said “rules” as the means by which they and its member nations could officially condemn the Jewish State of Israel at every possible chance.
But now the UN's words are also being used as an anti-war mantra of sorts by both the anti-Israel and antisemitic sorts, plus those who are misguidedly pro-Iran. But a critical truth these sorts still ignore is that we...the United States of America and the Jewish State of Israel...in one guise or another... have been part and party to an ongoing war with Iran for almost five decades. And it's been five decades with those now whining having suddenly found their voices...but it's only because President Trump (and of course Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu) have become heroes of sorts. And so, as if on cue, and not unexpectedly, we hear anti-war chants here at home...mostly but not all being Democrat voices suddenly starting to scream fowl.
“Something had to be done, and it's been 47 years. They've been killing people all over the world for a long time. They were the kings and fathers of the roadside bomb.” - President Trump's ever truthful words spoken during a March 3, 2026 bilateral meeting at the White House with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
And while President Trump is not the polished orator molded in the likes of our great President Ronald Reagan...few people ever could be...his five simple yet direct words, “something had to be done” are just as powerful in their meaning and intent as was Reagan's six words, “Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.”
Trump's words are indeed powerful, but they are words that he must follow through on until the very end, most especially now with the risk of “sleeper cells” being awakened here at home. And what, in my opinion, would constitute a rightful end to the war?
- First: Iran must unconditionally surrender...no ifs, ands, or buts.
Second: there must be a total dismantling of its newly mullah appointed theocratic regime, after all we did not go to war to replace one radical theocracy with another.
Third: a total dismantling of the Revolutionary Guard must occur along with all of its proxy armies.
Fourth: total freedom for the Iranian people (maybe even a countrywide burka burning party to symbolize the freeing of Iranian women from the forced upon them 6th century subjugating mindset).
Fifth: free and fair elections (monitored by the U.S. and Israel of course) must be held...elections where the Iranian people get to chose their leaders not see them being appointed by the same uncivilized sorts who destroyed both their country and their right to freedom.
And know that these are but a few key changes that not only need to be done but must be done if Iran is ever to be welcomed back into the realm of the modern day civilized world...which now, thanks to “Operation Epic Fury” and “Operation Roaring Lion,” truly is on the brink of a “new world order” after all. Case closed.

After weeks of escalating Mideast tensions, and negotiations that should never have taken place, in the early morning hours of Saturday, February 28th, the U.S. and Israel launched a long awaited joint “military operation” against Iran...“Operation Epic Fury” it was called on our end and “Operation Roaring Lion” on Israel's end...that when combined will in the end either culminate in the birth of a new and free Iran (the more likely scenario) or will it lead to a wider regional conflict if some naysayers...like Iran's still somewhat operational proxy armies...have their nasty way.
In my opinion, I see this combined “military operation” as the beginning of a true quantum shift towards lasting peace in not only the Middle East, but worldwide as well. Why so...because with the death of Khamenei...the world's leading architect and sponsor of terrorism...along with his top henchmen...the world itself becomes a safer place, but only if no one like him arises to take his place.
So it's not surprising that Israeli officials immediately with the first bomb being dropped declared a “state of emergency” in Israel, which sent Israeli's hurrying into bomb shelters as Iranian ballistic missiles started targeting both Israeli civilian areas and U.S. military bases and installations, and continue to do so.
Simply, Iran knew that the final days of Trump's countdown was fast approaching, as well as their knowing that the anti-regime movement within Iran was not only growing but showing no signs of abating, which has led President Trump to say to the people of Iran to “seize the moment and take control of the government, now,” to which I add especially since Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is now confirmed “DEAD.”
An interesting objective this compound was, for it was the very place that both Israeli and U.S. military intelligence (most especially Israel's Mossad who are known for their ability to catch its enemies at its most vulnerable and unaware of times) had long watched in the hope that at some point Khamanei would gather together his senior political and military leaders for a meeting at said compound, and where they could then all be “taken out” at the same time.
And also killed on that fateful Saturday...killed in an Israeli targeted strike on his home...was former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...a confrontational hard line ideologue who became the face of Tehran's nuclear defiance, and its vile anti-Israel rhetoric...rhetoric which included his calling the Jewish State of Israel a “disgraceful cancerous growth” that “must be wiped off the map.” And at the time of his death, Ahmadinejad was under “house arrest” for attempting to carry out a coup aimed at steering Iran in an even more extreme direction than that of Khamenei...if that's even remotely possible.
So as Iran still lobs what remains of its ballistic missile inventory into Israel...where on Sunday a ballistic missile impact in the Beit Shenesh area west of Jerusalem killed nine people and wounded nearly 50 others including several children...as well as into U.S. army bases, and certain now U.S. aligned Arab nations...the question becomes what happens next now that “Khamenei, his heir-apparent son, and 40 other top leaders are DEAD”... what happens now that the entire top two tiers of the Iranian regime are “DEAD?” Will what is a “military action” now end quickly or will a “vacuum of power” be created with chaos being the outcome...only time, and what the Iranian people do next, will tell.
But President Trump said it best when telling the Iranian people that, “this will probably be your only chance for a generation to take back your country, seize the opportunity now.” No truer words spoken especially when I'm sure that the “Death to Israel, Death to America” chants will now and forever be a thing of the past.
