.. so, why are we so hard-pressed to make a deal with this nation that will still get them to the end game of having nukes? I want to understand it but I live in the realm of common sense and logic.
Let’s examine this situation. The Shah of Iran was exiled due to a revolution that resulted in an Islamic takeover of the nation’s government. The American Embassy was stormed and 52 hostages were taken and held for 444 days from 1979 to 1981. There is a deep-seated hatred for all things American and all things Israeli. They’ve been chanting “Death to America” for approaching 40 years now. They have been our enemy for so long that we actually supported Iraq in it’s war against Iran.
You might say, “That was a long time ago. The world has changed. Iran is a very different country now.” Umm, no! None of that is true. Yesterday, the Iranian leader publicly supported shouts of hatred and terrorist strikes against Israel (Click Here). Two and a half weeks ago, “Death to America” was chanted there.. BY MEMBERS OF THE IRANIAN PARLIAMENT! (Click Here) What am I missing?
Don’t misunderstand me, had Iran changed it’s tune. Had there been some remorse shown for raiding our embassy and taking our people, I might have a different take. Had they said, “Okay, we don’t want you to die anymore, America,” or “okay, we don’t really want the blood of Jews to flow to the sea,” or “come on, we don’t really want to blow Israel off the map,” I’d kind of comprehend the idea of possibly starting talks to STOP the country from attaining nuclear weapons. But, that’s not what’s happened. Not even close.
This country is without remorse, still wants “Death” to us all and to Israel, supports terrorist organizations around the world, has done NOTHING to deserve a conversation with us nor have the sanctions lifted. As much as this President and this Secretary of State think this deal will somehow be their legacy and it will be a positive one. All this will serve as is a legacy of weakness and giving in to a country that hates everything about us.
