The world mocks us as we offer "Peace in our time." Or is a prelude to World War III President Obama's real gift to the world? Appeasement to dictators in Europe and Far East resulted in World War II. This nuclear agreement guarantees the proliferation of nuclear nations in the Mideast.

These are nations that are tribal in nature and driven by religion with hate for each other and the West. Weapons will be produced without question and we will be drawn into conflict. This treaty will seal the fate of our civilization and children yet to be born. The United States, with its diplomatic, military and economic strength, could produce a far different outcome.

We know how Iran views a strong America. Remember the day President Reagan was sworn into office? The American Embassy hostages were set free. Enemies of free societies will never cease to exist and they always view appeasement as a weakness.

The world is a more secure place with a strong America. This president will join Prime Minster Neville Chamberlin in the historical context of failure. The world stands at a crossroads. There is no other America left to rescue the civilized world once we take this path.
