(Bloomberg) - Donald Trump was done negotiating.

For months, Israeli and American intelligence agencies - including the CIA - had been secretly watching Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for just the right moment.

In early January, President Trump warned Iran's Islamist government that if it killed peaceful civilians protesting the economy's collapse, the United States of America will come to their rescue....

As American and Israeli rockets fly into Tehran, with the stated goal of regime change, anyone who bought into the self-evidently absurd idea of "Donald the Dove" ending America's forever wars ought to be suffering from a bloody form of buyer's remorse.

One of Trump's greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories and excuses to avoid carrying out the only successful policy, which is killing terrorists -- as many as you can, whenever you can.

Trump is on the side of a revolution based on self-government that does not serve a radical philosophy. That was his theme in the SOTU.

Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do.
