The wish for a \u201cHappy New Year\u201d is on everyone\u2019s lips. The start of 2024 is a time to reflect on what that would entail.\nIt would involve the decisive defeat of Iran\u2019s mullahs and the liberation of their long-suffering population, ending the threat to Israel and us from not only Tehran, but its myriad terrorist proxies and allies.\xa0\nIt would see the Chinese Communist Party not only deterred from attacking Taiwan, but toppled by the Chinese people\xa0with our help.\xa0\nIt would ensure that American voters have a free and fair election, unmarred by theft, fraud or other manipulations, and affording an opportunity for a peaceful and much-needed course-correction.\nAre\xa0any\xa0of these things in prospect this year \u2013 let alone\xa0all of them? Let us pray they are and that it will indeed be, against all odds, a\xa0Happy\xa0New Year.\nThis is Frank Gaffney.
