WEBVTT - Carol Platt Liebau: Good Riddance

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>This is Carol Plat Libeo for town hall dot Com.

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>This year marks twenty five years since September eleventh, two

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one. Since then, America's grown older and soberer.

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>We've learned the hard way that even the world's greatest

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>military can't remake the Middle East. After Iraq and Afghanistan,

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>few Americans won another long conflict in a distant land.

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>But let's be clear, Iran isn't some random target. For

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>nearly fifty years, its regime has waged war against US

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>directly and through terrorist proxies, working constantly to destabilize the

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>region and beyond. It's taken Americans hostage, pursued nuclear weapons,

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>funded terror groups, aided our enemies, and even plotted to

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>assassinate our president. Reports indicate it was preparing attacks on

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 1>US interests in the Middle East. Iran's evil leaders abused

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>America for decades with impunity. Good riddance. I'm Carol Platt
