Iran Negotiations: My Reply to NY Times March 4, 2015

I wrote: "The fallacy in your argument & Thomas Friedman column presumes the US will back up Iranian misdeeds by force-just like Obama's red line vs Assad a few years back. Netanyahu doesn't shrink from his substantive argument at all. Iran was warned."  To each their own opinion, but this is my blog, my soapbox identified as such. I thought it quite timely and appropriate the Israeli prime minister came to Washington DC to present his case. As Bill O'Reilly once said a few years ago, if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, using it on Israel, then there's no more Israel-it's too late. The Supreme Leader accuses Israel of crimes. Against whom? HAMAS in Gaza used rockets firing first into Israeli sovereignty. Russia, North Korea, and Iran are a fascist bloc all working together, sharing nuclear technology. Iran is competing with al-Qaeda, Hezzbolah, ISIS, al-Shabab and others to dominate and CONQUER the Middle East, by supporting terror through arms and their Revolutionary Guard in Tikrit, Mosul and Erbil standoffs. Iranian agents have fought against US troops in Iran and Afghanistan to my knowledge. It makes great propaganda for Iran to send their foreign minister to Geneva for talks with Kerry re: nukes, uranium quotas, centrifuges, inspections and  verifications to/ for a limited agreement. Critics, including the Obama Administration who snubbed a US ally/ leader says Netanyahu said nothing new, no substance. Using Nazi Germany as history, the Jewish nation will no longer be passive; "those days are over," he exclaimed. Israel will stand alone if necessary just as it did 4,000 years ago led by Moses out of Egypt. America will stand with Israel we hope...our focus on ISIS may win a battle but still lose a larger war, and I agree with him. He said the enemy of your enemy is still your enemy. Iran is Shia Muslim as is Assad's Syria. The Sunnis support ISIS in Iraq and Syria. We're not over in Afghanistan either as the Taliban still threaten new government there. Iran remains a threat to Israel, having said so! Iran also threatens the region and our planet. This negotiating process is the same naïve, weak appeasement for peace, as was the Munich Conference with Hitler in 1938, which of course resulted in World War II. If my country, Europe is serious that Iran will not be allowed a nuclear bomb, then really no deal must be met with even stronger, crippling sanctions which only hurts their human population-amidst Iranian human rights violations, stronger checks/ elimination of their heavy water-or it'll be war because they cannot be trusted to keep their bargain. Their 1979 Islamic Revolution held our hostages for 444 days until Reagan became president after a helpless Carter. Reagan demonstrated defense through strength, but Iran got paid off too I think-to nobody's delight GOP or Democrats, except for the ayatollahs. To say our present government will back this agreement emboldens our enemies around the world from Yemen to Nigeria, because Obama-Biden ran for 2008 election on an anti-war campaign and will give away the store. I'm glad Prime Minister Netanyahu gave the world a talking to. Let's hope somebody listened.
