(Wall Street Journal) Joe Lieberman - President Trump's order to take out Qasem Soleimani was morally, constitutionally and strategically correct. He was responsible for murdering hundreds of Americans and planning to kill thousands more. No American can dispute that Soleimani created, supported and directed a network of terrorist organizations that spread havoc in the Middle East. There are worries that Soleimani's death will provoke a violent response from Iran. Yet if we allow fear of a self-declared enemy like Iran to dictate our actions, we will only encourage them to come after us and our allies more aggressively. It is more likely that his death will diminish the chances of a wider conflict because the demonstration of our willingness to kill him will give Iranian leaders (and probably others like Kim Jong Un) much to fear. The writer was a U.S. senator from Connecticut, 1989-2013. 2020-01-06 00:00:00Full Article
