Confrontation with Iran Is Inevitable
(Wall Street Journal) Jose Maria Aznar - The nuclear deal will strengthen Iran's tyrannical, revolutionary and fundamentalist regime, and they will have the bomb within a matter of years. The evil is in the nature of the regime itself, which believes that violence is a legitimate tool to achieve expansionist goals. Dictators do not dissolve when they are showered in money. The more likely outcome is an empowered regime, better equipped to pursue its regional interests and perfectly capable of building a nuclear bomb. Sooner or later the West will have to confront Iran - only later it will face an emboldened, better prepared, modernized and richer Iran that will do its best to attain the goals we've always tried to prevent.
