townhall.com. President Trump is on the cusp of a historic achievement. If the president oversees the toppling of the ruling regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran,

his achievements will rank with the greatest of those of any post-World War II president.

That's just an objective fact.

If you don't understand that fact, you have not been paying attention for more than 40 years.

Iran is as evil a regime as exists on the planet. It is run

by religious fanatics with a peculiar theology, rooted in end-time eschatology and resistance, up to

and especially including martyrdom. It cannot be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction

or even an arsenal of conventional weapons sufficient to deter normal regimes from stopping it from obtaining WMD,

especially obtaining nuclear weapons.

The result needed in the war has not yet been achieved.

But if President Trump delivers it, only his critics incapable of basic objectivity will deny the significance of his order to take down the regime that has bedeviled the world for almost a half

century.

In times like these, we all need a word of encouragement.
