Us As Well

clipped from pajamasmedia.com

I think that’s why Iranian society is careening into history’s septic tank, it is why the word most often used by sensitive Iranians to describe their country’s plight is “degradation.”  Persia is being gutted in order to fund the terror war against the West.  From the grim figures on the economy, to the mounting trafficking of Persian women to the brothels of the world, to the drug epidemic sabotaging the future of Iranian youth, to the torture cells reserved for anyone who speaks the truth, Persia is being destroyed.  All in the name of an evil ideology that drives a global war against civilization.

That war has been raging for nearly thirty years, and no Western government has yet found the will to engage in it.  The message Spengler delivers is that there is no way out of this war.  Left to their own devices, the mullahs will destroy Iran, and, if they can, us as well.
