The US administration is entering into an agreement with IRAN in order to limit Iran’s quest for a nuclear weapon. The agreement’s historic potential is equated to the 1972 agreement between the United States and China.
First, Secretary of State Mr. John Kerry is no Henry Kissinger. Second, Mr. Hassan Rouhani is no Zhou Enlai. Also, in 1972 China was reducing its support for the Communist North Vietnam.
Unfortunately, Iran is not reducing its support for terrorism but is increasing its proxy support for Hezbollah that had killed 241 US Marines in Beirut and through its Revolutionary Guard Corps gives Hamas and others, thousands of rockets, millions of dollars a year, training and operational logistical support for terrorism in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Thailand, Nigeria, Israel and other lands. In September 2013, Iranian operative was arrested in Tel Aviv with pictures of the U.S. embassy in his possession.
We should not forget our Marines who had perished in Beirut, but remember that the quest for peace is not to be limited to Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons but in ending that government’s sponsorship of the killing of innocents around the world. We should not seek Neville Chamberlain’s “Peace in our time” and close our eyes to the death and destruction that Iran and its proxies sow.
