Good guys and bad people

"Iran aims for civilians. Putin aims for civilians. These are not good guys, they are bad people. Our president wants peace between peoples more than anything else. By the same token, he takes the safety of the American people seriously. We are the good guys. Last night, we bombed a nefarious lab belonging to some very bad people."

As a kid, born shortly after the conclusion of World War II, playtime with friends in the neighborhood would most likely be war games or "good guys and bad guys". The war games were of course, the allies fighting the Germans or Japanese. But that was a point in time. The Germans and Japanese, who were bad guys back then, are now our friends and allies. And how they act, is much more like good guys than bad guys. 

In my lifetime, the United States has always acted like a good guy. Forget what you have heard from the malcontents on the left - we do not have a sordid history. Not perfect, but pretty darn good if you ask me. Why talk about this? Because even though many of the battles of good guys against bad guys seem to be so ancient, we have some even today. 

Last night, the good guys representing our country, unleashed some powerful bombs to take care of a naughty problem in the country of some very bad people. Iran, who is loaded with bad actors in their government, has been causing hellscapes for the country of Israel. To a lesser extent, also for us. Now they are trying to build a nuclear weapon. For what purpose? In the words of the leaders of Iran, so they can exterminate Israel. And after Israel, maybe us.

The main target last night was the Fordow underground facility. Our war planners were convinced that two of our massive "bunker busters", dropped from a B-2 bomber, could do the trick. But unknown until last night, the war planners also knew this facility was so very vital to building (finishing) a nuclear bomb for Iran, instead of two "bunker busters", we used six.

Here is the bottom line. Iran loves to hit below the belt. In the war with Israel, the Israeli Air Force aims for Iran's nuclear sites and military sites. Iran on the other hand, aims ballistic missiles at Israel's civilian areas. Even hospitals. All Israel wants to do is keep Iran from building a bomb which could be used against Israel. All Iran wants to do is kill Jews.

Iran aims for civilians. Putin aims for civilians. These are not good guys, they are bad people. Our president wants peace between peoples more than anything else. By the same token, he takes the safety of the American people seriously. We are the good guys. Last night, we bombed a nefarious lab belonging to some very bad people. The irony is, Iran is loaded with some good people - some very good guys. But their leadership is rotten to the core. Extremely bad people. 

Are we good guys or bad guys? I guess it all depends on whom you ask. As of late, the radical fringe on the left thinks we (the USA) is wrong on everything. Most citizens and patriots feel strongly that we are still the good guys. And I am one of them. What is this war with Iran all about? Good vs. evil. Good vs. evil is the battle which has been going on since day one. And it will continue until Jesus comes back.
