‘Peace for our time’
Ambassador R. James Woolsey and Dr. Peter V. Pry
July 31, 2015
Banner headlines in a prominent national newspaper read "NUKE DEAL PAVES WAY FOR NEW ERA: Sworn Foes U.S., Iran Aim To Bury Hatchet" — without sarcasm. For critics of the Iran nuclear deal, such undeserved praise is ominously reminiscent of the adulatory press that greeted British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his ill-fated Munich agreement, upon returning from meeting Adolph Hitler in Nazi Germany on the eve of World War II, declaring, "Peace for our time."
Critics of the Iran nuclear deal are right — it is a very bad deal. It surrenders to the world's leading sponsor of international terrorism the right to enrich uranium and the technological pathway to eventually build nuclear weapons, and intercontinental missiles to deliver them, on a mass industrial scale, just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the U.S. Congress on March 3, 2015.
The deal, negotiated without the participation of any of the U.S. allies who must live in the Middle East, next door to the existential threat that is a nuclear Iran, is straining those invaluable relationships to the breaking point and making U.S. security guarantees non-credible.
The deal may have started a nuclear arms race in the Middle East already.
According to press reports, Saudi Arabia, which has intermediate-range missiles from China, may purchase nuclear warheads from Pakistan. President Obama's recent meeting with the Saudis, and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter's trip to Israel, further evidences the extreme angst among U.S. allies about the Iran nuclear deal.
Indeed, the nuclear deal with Iran will probably make inevitable another war in the Middle East.
Israel's Netanyahu warns the deal is an "historic mistake" and "worse than the deal ... that led to a nuclear arsenal in North Korea" and that Israel will do what it must to protect itself. The deal is so bad that it may achieve the seemingly impossible — a coalition of Israel and the moderate Arab states to launch a pre-emptive war against Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
Such a war would destabilize the global economy and quite possibly involve weapons of mass destruction.
