As Iran's dictatorship continues to attack its own people, with as many as 12,000 to 20,000 civilians slaughtered by government thugs in recent weeks, the prospect of American involvement grows. The same theocrats that have been slaughtering their own people have also vowed to destroy the United States and have repeatedly attacked and murdered our fellow Americans. Nearly everyone knows that Iran calls the U.S. the "Great Satan" since Ayatollah Khomeini seized control of the country in 1979. But how many understand the depth of their enmity? How much of the "Islamic Republic" is built upon an all-consuming lust to hurt and kill Americans? I know. I remember. I was born there.
