The Iran War and the Constitution

Steve Bonta and Gary Benoit

AT A GLANCE

• Iran is but one of many oppressive, mass-murdering regimes.

• The war on Iran, morally justified or not, is unconstitutional.

• The official narrative on Iran has been changing since last June.

• The war will be exploited by the globalists.

Very recently, heart-wrenching tragedy became the order of the day in one of the world’s largest Muslim countries, an ancient desert land ruled for decades by pitiless, bloodthirsty tyrants with whom the United States has crossed swords in the past for supporting Islamic terrorism. During the course of several horrifying days, uniformed troops carried out the unrestrained slaughter and rape of thousands of innocent civilians, prompting claims of genocide. Abroad, the outcry was predictable: The “international community” must do something to stop the atrocities. U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration weighed in, promising to try to negotiate an end to the bloodletting.

That, in a nutshell, is what has been going on, comparatively unremarked, in the north African country of Sudan, even as the world’s attention has been riveted elsewhere. The slaughter in the Darfur region of western Sudan, mostly inhabited by non-Arab Fur and Zaghawa ethnic groups, has been carried out by a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), that used to be an arm of the government in Khartoum, but has had a falling out with elements of the army. During the ensuing nightmare, Sudan’s second civil war this century, RSF forces recently besieged and then took the city of El Fasher, slaughtering countless thousands of innocents in the process.

Americans, whose attention is currently focused on the dramatic events unfolding in Iran and across the Middle East, might be forgiven the general ignorance and apathy about events in Sudan. The legacy media, after all, have had little to say about it. Ditto for ongoing horrors in Myanmar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Yemen, and elsewhere.
