I was surprised that Obama and his cabinet actually took a stand on the issue of a nuclear Iran. But I am worried that when push comes to shove, Obama won't want to take the steps necessary to protect our country and the rest of the world. It seems to me, he is hiding behind the sanctions, or that they are blinding him to what is going on. Sanctions aren't going to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Just as accommodation didn't stop the Soviets from building up their arms reserves during the cold war, sanctions aren't going to stop the Iranians from reaching their ultimate goal, using nukes to destroy Israel and the US. Nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iranians is a very scary proposition indeed.
This to me is the most serious issue when it comes election time. Wish there were leaders more like Churchill. Obama reminds me too much of Chamberlain.
ReplyDeleteVery good observation. Obama is like the great appeaser. We do need a leader like Churchill or Reagan who will do what is necessary.
