The White House is claiming that Iran is no longer a threat to world peace.   For decades, Iran has been a rogue nation, sponsoring global terrorism and devoted to destroying Israel.   President Obama wants us to believe Iran can now be trusted. He's ready to let Iran keep the capability to make weapons-grade uranium within 2 to 3 months. Obama would remove sanctions from Iran, and he's already freed up billions of dollars for them.   Iran has been officially listed as state sponsors of terrorism for 30 years, but Obama is taking them off the list.   Obama-appointees tell Congress that Iran can be trusted to honor a deal because . . . otherwise they would be breaking the law. How naïve.   Obama thinks that appeasement will bring world peace. He wants a special place in world history. Obama just might succeed, going down as a modern-day Neville Chamberlain.
