Across the country, gas is once again over $3.50 a gallon. According to AAA, the national average is approaching $4.00, with the cost per gallon at $3 80 in Florida, $4.96 in Hawaii, $3.65 in New York and $5.58 in California. Even Kansas and Oklahoma, which have the lowest prices in the country, are also now over $3.00.
While it is painful right now, which affects the cost of everything in our economy, it is a small price to pay short-term, for a long-term peace after the removal of an evil theocracy. The Islamic "Republic" bragged about having the capability to build eleven or more nuclear bombs in short order.
This was a warning to American negotiators which could not be ignored. The regime expected for an Obama-Biden response from the US which would once again cower in fear from Iran's nuclear threat. But the US is now led by a President with balls.
It is now twenty days since Iran was surprised by the unexpected response from President Trump. The Ayatollah and many members of his regime have been eliminated. As well, the second and third tier of replacements either have been killed, or are scurrying like rats in a sewer.
By all estimates, this war will soon be over, and a peaceful and sane Iran will emerge. The people of Iran will once again be free and will be productive members of the world's civilized society. They have suffered long enough under a tyranny which suppressed their freedoms.
For those of us who have lived here enjoying those same freedoms, we can appreciate others who long to achieve the same. It is innate in humanity to live with conditions which promote, rather than hinder, these God-given inalienable rights.
So, for Americans to pay a small price in the increase in gas to live with long-term peace, without another nation with nuclear weapons, it is well-worth it.
And when peace finally comes in Iran, and all through the Middle East, we will all be relieved when prices in gas come crashing down again.
