Stopping an Ominous Iran
(The Hill) Kenneth Stein - Iran is not Nazi Germany - at least not yet - but its history of hatred and repression combined with its economic and military might - and its willingness to use that might to expand its sphere of influence - is perhaps the most dangerous in the world today. Add to that history the reality that this deal validates Iran's nuclear program, enshrines Iran as a threshold nuclear weapons state and almost guarantees it can build its own weapons unhindered by international constraints in fifteen years, and the prospects for this Iranian regime to become the Nazi Germany of the 21st century will become more real every single day. The writer is Professor of Contemporary Middle Eastern History, Political Science and Israeli Studies at Emory University.
