The Mullahs Must Go

When you think of the corrosive effects of the mullahs ruling Iran, you think of Hezbollah and Hamas, as well as support for various jihadis in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you think harder, you think of support for radicals in various Gulf states and cooperation with North Korea. And the nukes, of course.

But Iran's money and fanaticism infect far more:

Venezuela and Bolivia are supplying Iran with uranium for its nuclear program, according to a secret Israeli government report obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

The two South American countries are known to have close ties with Iran, but this is the first allegation that they are involved in the development of Iran's nuclear program, considered a strategic threat by Israel.

Without Iran, many annoying enemies would be mere annoyances. With Iran's help, they are threats to order and security around the world.

While we insist on holding our extended hand out to Iran, they continue to slap us around with their extended hands.

The mullahs must go. Anything we do should be means to that objective.
