Bad pact with Iran

An agreement to preserve “peace in our times” has been tried before, and failed! In the late 1930s, world leaders mistakenly believed that they had ensured peace by negotiating a “deal” with Hitler and his terrorist regime. History has confirmed that promises and agreements with terrorists can’t be relied on. That trust was misplaced and simply opened the door to the further expansion of terrorism in the world.

Now, throwing common sense aside, and ignoring Iran’s history of terrorism and lies, our president and his party have entered into a one-sided agreement with Iran. Iran, a country, which in the past has held captive our embassy personnel and which continues even today the imprisonment of Americans.

This agreement with Iran ignores the open threats made by them calling for “death to America”! Iranians pose threats to our democracy and to our way of life. Their leaders continue to call unabashedly for the complete destruction of Israel.

Unfortunately, our leaders have chosen to stand with Muslim terrorists who continue to fund the killing of innocent people throughout the Middle East, as well as in the Western world.
