Trump’s Iran Misadventure: A Humiliation Worse Than Vietnam
The article asserts that despite the immediate relief from a crisis, world leaders are attempting to move past a critical moment where the President of the United States threatened genocide with the words, “A whole civilisation will die tonight.” This statement is presented as a moral boundary that cannot be forgotten and requires action, not a return to normalcy. The author criticizes European leaders for their silence and inaction, contrasting it with the Pope’s appropriate condemnation and emphasizing that the failure to act betrays the principle of “Never Again.” True adherence to this principle, the article argues, would involve recognizing the present danger and taking decisive steps to isolate the leader who made such threats.
