Soap Box

What just happened?

Did Barack Obama pull off the diplomatic coup of the century, or did he just open Pandora's nuclear box.

Has he made the world a safer place or has he put every succeeding generation in jeopardy, to live under the shadow of nuclear annihilation similar to the Cold War days when an atomic bomb in the hands of madmen meant that a nuclear attack was always, potentially, just thirty minutes away?

Has he freed up the funds to help the people of Iran to have a better life and bring their nation into the twenty first century or has he handed the mullahs a revitalized terrorist threat to hold over the heads of Israel, America and every other nation that disagrees with them?

Has he brought a modicum of badly needed peace and sanity to the troubled Middle Eastern neighborhood or started an all out nuclear arms race?

Any workable deal between nations requires a certain amount of trust from each side, that they both want the same thing and have come to terms they can live with, to their mutual interest.

Are America's best interests met in this deal, or did Obama - in his obvious desperation - give away the store?

Is Obama really thinking about the long term interests of this nation, or is he simply kicking the can on down the road in hopes that some other administration gets the blame when it falls apart, and folks, I would bet the ranch to a mule collar that it will fall apart.

And where does our regard for our ally Israel fall in this deal? What do we do when, I say when, not if, Iran achieves the means and the ability to mount a nuclear attack on the Holy Land? Do we expect them to sit idly by while Iran facilitates their destruction?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that it is a terrible deal for Israel but Obama didn't seem to even take that into consideration in his haste to sign a deal with Iran, and in the process is lifting an embargo of anything from small arms to ballistic missiles.

My feelings:

Iran will continue their development of nuclear weapons, even as the ink dries on the �Obama Accords�.

Shortly, they will become belligerent and uncooperative about inspection of their facilities.

They will use most of the hundreds of billions of dollars Obama is freeing up to export terror around the world with better armed more determined terrorists, in essence we are helping finance terrorist attacks against us and our interests, kind of like a �Fast and Furious� on steroids.

The day will come when Israel will have only two choices; attack or perish, and this is the nation whose national motto is "Never Again".

What do you suppose will happen when that day comes?

The only hope for stopping the Obama Accords is for Congress to vote it down and after Obama's inevitable veto. I don't believe there's enough testosterone and common sense in that body to override it.

So, we and the rest of the world will be stuck with Obama's true legacy, a nuclear threat from a nation who chants "Death to America!"

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
