Carl von Clausewitz developed the idea of \u201ccenter of gravity\u201d for war strategy. A center of gravity can be key people, things, or locations that are so vital to an enemy\u2019s ability to conduct a war that their elimination is the best way to completely defeat them.<\/p>

Iran is a theocratic monarchy controlled by a single Islamic mullah, titled ayatollah. There are also 80+ other high mullahs who elect that leader, though they basically select a son of the previous ayatollah.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s center of gravity is the ayatollah and the higher level mullahs, plus all the other Iranian mullahs to a lesser degree.<\/p>\n

Why? Because they create and sustain the fanaticism of Shia Islam\u2019s efforts to obey Allah\u2019s command to conquer all of humanity and convert everyone to Islam.<\/p>\n

Shia Islam is a hostile, brutal, fanatic version of Islam that sees any and all methods of conquering humanity as tools to achieve Allah\u2019s will. Iran\u2019s terrorist tactics and zeal for nuclear bombs on their missiles is obedience to Allah\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

And of course, anything they do, any lie they tell, is justifiable as doing the will of Allah.<\/p>\n

So, Iran\u2019s center of gravity is its mullahs.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we must<\/em> inflict a horrific, humiliating defeat on Iran\u2019s mullahs to end, for hopefully many decades, their power in Iran.<\/p>\n

The only<\/em> way to do this is to eliminate all of the top Iranian mullahs we can find.<\/p>\n

The ayatollah and leading mullahs live in the holy city of Qom. It\u2019s also the location of the most important madrassas (religious training colleges), and many venerable holy sites.<\/p>

As Iran\u2019s Islamic headquarters, Qom must be a major target for destruction because it houses the religious leaders who are Iran\u2019s center of gravity. Iran can only be defeated by their destruction at a sufficient level that they can no longer effectively control Iran\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

Yes, this is bloody, brutal and necessary.<\/p>\n

It is also the only way to defeat religious fanatics that use terrorism and deceit as their world conquest tactics of choice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also the only way we can neutralize Shia Iran\u2019s lying promises.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Western fantasies of fair play probably prohibit President Trump from doing the necessary killing.<\/p>\n

That is why I believe capturing, and keeping, Kharg Island, which is Iran\u2019s petroleum export facility, is necessary.<\/p>\n

American control of Kharg Island would give us control over Iran\u2019s main source of funds for its military ambitions. This gives America an essential economic stranglehold on the hopes of Iran\u2019s mullahs to dominate the Persian Gulf nations and to destroy Israel.<\/p>\n

Not as effective as killing lots of fanatic Muslim mullahs, but acceptable within Western Civilization\u2019s dangerously soft rules of honorable combat.<\/p>\n

A great America requires great courage and great decisions.<\/p>\n

I hope Trump hangs tough and gives Iran a sharp thumping. Otherwise, he will just be another president kicking the Iran problem down the road to threaten future generations.<\/p>\n
