Neville Chamberlain is Alive and Well

Dr. Robert A. Morey in "Will Islam Cause WWIII?" writes: "We stand in some ways like those few brave Americans and Europeans who just before World War II warned people of the Nazi threat to world peace. They took the rhetoric of Hitler at face value and saw the buildup of war and terrorism across the world. While others dismissed Hitler and his 'brown shirts' as buffoons, a few people sounded the alarm. Sad to say, their warnings were ignored. "Peace in our time" was Chamberlain's swan song and the world was lulled to sleep while the Third Reich armed itself for war."

Iran is always after "street credibility" with the surrounding Arab states, and their sending of warships through the Suez Canal may be simply more of the same, or it may be an omen of worse things to come. The unfortunate fact is, whenever an enemy pushes too far and Israel makes good on its warnings to go no farther the worldwide press demonizes Israel. There is a distinct possibility that Iran is actually counting on Israel intercepting its ships, thereby causing the press and world opinion to turn against Israel, and ultimately making it easier to attack Israel in the end.

The biggest mistake we can make now is to ignore the capability that they Iranians currently developing, which our president seems perfectly willing to do. Our president is more interested in attacking the governors of Arizona and Wisconsin then attacking Iran's nuclear development program. Just as Chamberlain's naivte cost Great Brittain millions of lives and untold suffering, Obama's naivte - and that of his supporters - will cost Israel and America millions of lives and untold suffering in the end.
