Dennis Prager and a guest debate whether military action against Iran risks becoming another endless war like Iraq and Afghanistan. One argues it's unlikely given Iran's totalitarian regime and the Revolutionary Guard's massacre of roughly 40,000 civilians, while the other warns of the cost in dollars and American lives.
Many people are very worried that this sounds very similar. Why did we get into Iraq? Why did we get into Afghanistan? And now people are asking, why are we getting into Iran? Are we going to end up with the same entanglement of years and years and billions of dollars spent, not to mention the number of American deaths that should be avoided?
But the odds are overwhelmingly unlikely. That we would be involved in an endless war there that is analogous to what happened in Iraq, would happen in, uh, would happen in Iran. Also, nearly 40,000 people were slaughtered, were, were shot, machine-gunned to death by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, by the regime in Iran against its own people. This was not analogous to what happened in Iraq. The people of Iran do not want this repressive totalitarian regime which has shut off all communications with the world. There is no internet in Iran at this time, just as an example.
