Against Whom Is Iran Committing Aggression?

Pat Buchanan reminds Americans that “Iran is backing a regime we recognized until a few years ago, that is under attack by terrorist rebels we detest. … In Iraq, Iran is backing the government we support, against ISIS rebels we detest.”

Pat concludes, “Bottom line: A U.S. attack on Syria is being pushed by the War Party to propel us into a confrontation with Iran, and thereby torpedo any U.S. nuclear deal with Iran.”

Pat writes:

Jeb Bush has spent the week debating with himself over whether he would have started the war his brother launched on Iraq.

When he figures it out, hopefully, our would-be president will focus in on the campaign to drag us into yet another Mideast war — this time to bring down Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria.

While few would mourn the passing of the Assad dynasty, there is a problem: If Assad falls, a slaughter of Christians will follow and the battle for control of Damascus will be between the Syrian branch of al-Qaida, the Nusra Front, and the crazed terrorists of the Islamic State.

Victory for either would be a disaster for America.
