The media is underplaying the nuclear missile crisis which has been developing for years and continues to develop every day. In recent days Iran, the country who has publicly stated they seek the complete destruction of Israel, has been discovered to have additional nuclear weapons facilities, conducted missile tests, and some intelligence agencies believe they are assembling their first nuclear warhead. Not only is this a clear and present danger to Israel but to the region as a whole. As if this were not enough, we have a former security advisor to Jimmy Carter saying that if Israel preemptively attacks the nuclear facilities in Iran that the United States should shoot down the Israeli planes! This is madness! Oh! If we could have only killed Hitler before the death of six million Jews. How many lives did Neville Chamberlain save by his appeasement of Hitler?
Chamberlain became Prime Minister of Great Britain when Stanley Baldwin resigned in 1937, and soon became known for its policy of appeasement. He let it be widely known that he thought that Germany had been badly treated after the World War I, and that by agreeing to some of Germany's demands, he could atone for this, and hoped to avoid a repeat of the slaughter so recently visited on Europe. This policy was vocally opposed by Chamberlains Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, who resigned in protest in February 1938, to be replaced by Lord Halifax.
Soon afterward Hitler unified Germany and Austria, an act expressly forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles, and Chamberlain came under fire from Eden and Churchill to take action. The result was a four way meeting between Britain, France, Germany and Italy in September 1938. Here an agreement known as The Munich Pact was reached, saying that Britain and Germany would never go to war with one another again. This outcome was hugely popular with the British public, and Chamberlain returned to the country a hero and was acclaimed as the man who had saved the world from war, when he stepped of the plane waving that famous piece of paper he said 'I believe it is peace in our time.'
Israel is a peace seeking, liberty loving, ally and they deserve our full support in protecting their lives and their liberty! The President should make it clear to the world that we are behind Israel. We should give Iran an ultimatum that they let U.N. weapons inspectors in with no restrictions or face the consequences of a full Naval blockade to enforce complete sanctions on Iran. And if Israel feels the need to take out the nuclear facilities via air strikes they should have our support.
