The Hypocrisy of the U.S. Attacking Iran
By James Quillian, Economist, Political Analyst, Teacher of Natural Law
Back in the 1950s, the United States toppled the only democratic system Iran ever managed to build for itself. That’s not conspiracy, that’s history. We remember 9/11 and will for generations. Why on earth wouldn’t the Iranians remember what was done to them in the 1950s? Memory doesn’t stop at the water’s edge.
And here at home, in a country where a president can assume sweeping, near‑dictatorial powers and walk away without so much as a political bruise, we still insist on calling ourselves a republic. That’s the label. But Natural Law teaches us to judge by function, not by definition. If it quacks like a dictatorship and governs like a dictatorship, the label on the stationery doesn’t change the smell in the room.
