#26: The America-Iran Nuclear Agreement
The P5+1 nations, which includes America, have negotiated a nuclear deal with Iran. Many people are elated. But there should be no celebration. What is at stake is nothing less than HUMAN SURVIVAL. We needed something that would pull us away from that brink, but this nuclear deal with Iran did just the opposite.
If we doubt that it is about human survival, then perhaps we should talk to the Jewish nation Iran repeatedly says it wants to wipe off the map. Israel realizes its survival rests in whether or not Iran gets a nuclear bomb.
Even during the nuclear talks, Iranian groups repeatedly chanted “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” The Iranian leaders call Israel “the little Satan” and America “the great Satan.” They have a history of hating America and wanting to wipe our influence off the face of the Earth.
Can we expect a nuclear deal with such Iran to make the world safer? History can help us answer that question. Experience is an excellent teacher, if we are willing to learn from it.
