Iran's US Apologists

Gerard Baker, writing in the Wall Street Journal, about how the Obama and Biden administrations have cozied up to Iran and indirectly facilitated the current attack on Israel.

The appeasement of Iran by the Obama and Biden administrations has bolstered the conditions by which Tehran exerts its power—in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza. Most recently last month, on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the Biden team’s strategic geniuses executed the infamous cash-for-hostages swap.

No one wants war with Iran, but given the role Tehran played in organizing this monstrous attack, Israel must now surely strike at the regime, and any conflict that may ensue owes at least in part to America’s indulging Tehran for too long.

The primary responsibility for the monstrosity in Israel lies with the terrorists. But American weakness will always embolden the worst people in the world.

Baker points out how the last three years have made the world a much more dangerous place. Biden's Democrats get the blame, it's squarely in their lap.
