Gingrich: U.S. Must Stop Iran
Facing a potential nuclear holocaust at the hands of Iran, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich say the United States must do everything in its power to bring about regime change there, even if it means invading that nation.Saying that he hopes President Bush, "will focus first of all on telling the American people the truth about how dangerous the world has become, he warned that if we dont have a very serious systematic program to replace the government of Iran, were going to live in an unbelievably dangerous world. Speaking to Human Events magazine, Gingrich, a noted historian, compared the presidents handling of the Iran problem to the way British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin handled Nazi Germany in the mid-1930s, when Baldwin refused to rearm or recognize the threat Adolf Hitler posed to Britain and Europe. He contrasted Baldwin's polcies with those of another prime minister, Winston Churchill, who adopted a hard-line stance against the Nazi dictators ambitions. "This is 1935 and [Iranian president] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is as close to Adolf Hitler as weve seen. We now know who they are -- the question is who we are. Are we Baldwin or Churchill? " Gingrich said, noting that Churchill recognized the danger from Nazi Germany and urged that Britain prepare to meet it. Posted by: Captain America 2006-02-11 |
