Santorum’s Foreign Policy Advantage
This current event is a continuation of the current event I did last week regardingIran’s nuclear weapons. Unlike last week Rick Santorum now is out with a concrete plan aboutIran. He has fifteen points making up is plan but I have only included a couple of those.
- Bring greater attention to human rights violations of the Iranian regime against democracy protestors and minority religious groups,
- Work withIsraelto eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat immediately, and develop a potential plan for military action if needed,
- Help create Strike Funds to help organizers on the ground publicly protest and overthrow the regime,
- Economically targetIranby sanctioningIran’s central bank and open all forms of energy production in the U.S, effectively devastatingIran’s only economy,
- Ensure Iranian officials cannot access any of their funds by freezing bank accounts and significantly limit their travel by revoking visas,
- Refuse to negotiate on any level with the terrorist state ofIran,
- Eliminate the post ofU.S.ambassador toSyria,
- Stand withIsraelas an ally and in any effortsIsraelmay take to defend itself from Iranian aggression,
- Work withIsraelto determine the proper military response needed to stabilize the region, protect our allies and protect this country – including the authorization of targeted air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
A conservative hawk points out that, “Since none of the candidates will be President for over a year, however, the issue now is what we should do ifIranattacks before next inauguration day. I think we should be as encouraging as possible, including offers to help out with intelligence and support, diplomatic efforts, and an express pledge to re-supply any and all airplane and ordnance losses as a result of Israeli attacks.” I don’t know if I agree with all the aspects of Santorum’s plan regardingIran. But I do agree that we need a plan and or foundation of ideas to be put into action in caseIrandoes use its nuclear weapons in the near future.
