Jimmy Carter is the Godfather of Modern Islamic Terrorism

While the propagandists in the so-called "news" media are busy amplifying Democrat condemnation of President Trump for ordering the death of Iran's top terrorist, it is important to have some historical perspective on how this all began.

Jimmy Carter is the godfather of modern Islamic Terrorism. He pressured the pro-western Shah of Iran to abdicate power, aided Ayatollah Khomeini's return from exile in France, encouraged the Islamic Revolution, and then did nothing when our embassy in Tehran was invaded and our citizens taken hostage for 444 days.

It was Carter's complicity and weakness that emboldened the Islamic terrorists into believing the U.S. would not oppose them; not just Iranian terrorists but Islamic terrorists worldwide.

Donald Trump has many flaws. But at least he understands that Iran cannot be allowed to continue killing Americans without consequences.

Soleimani's death was in response to Iranian militias killing Americans in Iraq last week and storming our embassy in Baghdad this week. And it was completely appropriate.
