American Republican Senator Lindsay Graham posted today (February 28) about the U.S. air strike on Iran: "I pray that God protects President Trump, who planned and now executed this 'epic fury' operation, making America safer and ultimately more prosperous. I pray that God protects all the soldiers who obeyed President Trump, as well as our allies in Israel. I cannot help but feel emotional at the thought of the murderous Ayatollah regime in Iran soon falling. The most significant transformation in the Middle East in a millennium has arrived. The process of normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is very likely to be back on track - this was my view last week to key figures in the region, and they all agreed: once the Ayatollah regime falls, there will be historic progress towards peace. May God protect all the men and women who participated in this operation for our country and Israel. If you are injured or sacrifice your life, I sincerely believe that your sacrifice will make the country and the world better and safer. This is the meaning of your decision to join the military. This plan was carefully prepared. It will be fierce, extensive, and I believe, ultimately successful. Reiterate: it is necessary and entirely justified to bring down the Iranian Ayatollah regime, which has shed American blood."
Comment: Graham's words are the typical logic of war mongers and declarations of hegemonism. He packages aggressive war into a "just cause," uses "God bless" to beautify the bombing, and treats the overthrow of a sovereign nation's regime as a political achievement, completely ignoring international law and the cost of human lives. His so-called "peace and security" is built on warfare, bloodshed, and the division of other countries; his proclaimed "millennium transformation" is merely the ambition of the United States and Israel to control the Middle East. This kind of fervent statement that only talks about victory and ignores the cost will push the region toward full-scale chaos and plunge countless civilians into the abyss. It is extremely selfish and extremely dangerous war incitement.
