Article Description
ast night, the Pentagon released the last two names of the six US soldiers killed in a Kuwait attack a day after the US and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury. If Iran has its way, they will be only the first of many American deaths to come. The reason the Iranian regime wants to survive this war at all costs is not just personal, as selfish as it was for them to massacre thousands of civilians who protested against them. Their larger agenda is ideological. Until we understand it, we will be unequipped to win this war in ways that will matter long after it is over.
