Nuclear Folly

The Obama Administration has brokered a deal in Tehran that transparently invites Iran to develop the enriched uranium it needs to develop nuclear weapons. Is it any wonder, then, that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif are publicly celebrating the agreement as a victory over the United States? Meanwhile, back in the American capital, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest congratulate themselves; each has proclaimed to the nation that the United States and its Western partners have achieved an historic accord that will prevent Iranian nuclear ambitions from coming to fruition. As they do, the official Iranian press lambastes the White House account as pure fiction and insists that nothing at all has changed in Iran’s nuclear plans. It is not the case that the President, Secretary of State, and White House Press Secretary wear rose colored glasses; rather, they want the public to wear them. They have sold America, Israel, and Europe short in favor of enabling radical Islamists in the Rouhani government to obtain nuclear weapons. Theirs is a dishonorable abandonment of the American cause, one more example of a defeat achieved by self-inflicted wounds.
There are few more dedicated to the goals of the Iranian revolution than those in the Rouhani regime. Their primary objective is to change the balance of power in the Middle East so that they may obliterate Israel and extend radical Islam directed by their agents through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and the other Arab states that have relations with the West. They despise the Americans, who they regard as infidels, and they are quite willing to promise, even in writing, compliance with terms that they intend to violate. That has been Iran’s history in its dealings with the United Nations on the very issue of nuclear proliferation. Iran is a state sponsor of terror and a dedicated foe of the United States and Israel. For Iran, destruction of “infidel” countries like the United States and Israel is part of their governing creed, a daily pronouncement from Iranian leaders, and justifies murder and deception. If you would kill an American, what deters you from lying to him?
The irreducible rule for the savvy negotiator is to know his enemy and to avoid negotiating with him unless he has been rendered prostrate first. The problem with the President and Secretary Kerry is that they have chosen to treat a country intent on our destruction as a wayward ally rather than a dedicated enemy. There is not one basis in fact to support the conclusion that Iran is anything other than a dedicated opponent of the United States and Israel. The Administration has chosen to accept half-hearted promises from a regime that offers little change even if its promises were honored.
