Trump and Iran

For history buffs there is certain similarity between what Harry Truman did in 1946 with Stalin and what Trump is doing with the Iranian leaders. Stalin saw Turman as a country boy who had only been VP for 80 days when he was thrust into the presidency. He saw a man with little experience on the national stage and a person that could be manipulated. He saw an American people who were tired of foreign wars that seem to go for ever and knew that political pressure would force Truman to back away from confrontation. He was wrong. Truman clearly saw the threat of communism to the free world and vowed to fight against such dictatorship. Today the American people are once again tired of war and want to get on with life but Trump sees a future danger with the dictators in Iran who will try to take control of the Middle East. He is taking the unpopular approach to end the nuclear threat from Iran to save some future president of having to deal with a more powerful Iran. The easy way would be to just ignore Iran but leadership requires taking the road not travelled. Time will tell if this was the correct decision.
