People certainly have their feelings, one way or another, about the war with Iran. Whether or not they are based in logic or fact is not necessarily clear, but the sentiment has generally been mixed. Plenty disagree while plenty are in favor, but the media and Democrats would have you believe otherwise. They constantly say in front of any camera they find that Americans disagree with the war, and President Trump needs to stop because it is the will of the people.

But in reality, a place Democrats tend to not visit often, that is far from the truth. A new I&I/TIPP poll asked Americans how much of a threat they believe Iran poses. Among the respondents, 64-percent said it is a "very serious threat," while another 32-percent said it is a "somewhat serious threat." Just 23-percent described it as "not much of a threat," while 7-percent described it as "no threat at all."

Any way you slice it, it is clear a large chunk of Americans feel Iran is a threat and that we need to unify to address it. Former Trump Administration Deputy Assistant to the Defense Secretary Amber Smith says after 47 years of chanting "death to America," people have a right to feel uneasy with the Iranians.

"They are the threat the President has continually said they are, they have to be dealt with," she says.

Not dealing with them opens up a huge can of worms no one wants to see. North Korea is a perfect example of why you do not let people with extremist dictatorships get nuclear weapons. Once they have them, you cannot do much about it. You have to cut off a serpent's head to end the threat, which the U.S. is attempting to do with Iran by ending their nuclear program.

Iran has not been some innocent actor, using proxy groups like ISIS, Hamas and Boko Haram to commit their terrorist acts globally. Some of those acts have harmed Americans. So, the threat is real and Americans have seen it with their own eyes.

But, politicians, in their infinite usual wisdom, do not seem to care what Americans want or desire. They, especially Democrats, instead want to focus on politics in Washington. They want to stop Trump from doing anything with Iran solely because they do not like him doing anything positive. Which is a huge problem in terms of not just addressing the problem but advancing any solutions.

"It prevents a lot of good policy from happening...the safety of our nation and preventing our adversaries from having serious weapons...that is something we should be able to unite behind," says Smith. "But instead, we get sort of stuck in this back and forth fighting on things we should be able to unite on."

But the good news is Americans are uniting and making their own choice on the war, despite the media and Democrat agenda. While they will continue trying to cloud reality, Americans are forming a line in the sand.
