Trump's Churchill Moment on Iran
(Ynet News) Rami Simani - Churchill taught that when humanity is forced to fight evil, it must do so without compromise. You do not contain it or seek to understand it, you set out to destroy it. "You do not reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth," Winston Churchill shouted at his Cabinet ministers and senior British military commanders who tried to persuade him why Britain had to reach an agreement with Nazi Germany. By 1940, Germany had already conquered most of Europe. The isolationist U.S. still refused to join the war. The Nazi monster was poised to invade Britain, where the opposition and most Cabinet ministers supported opening negotiations with the Nazis. Hitler publicized in the world media that he did not want war. British military leaders urged Churchill to respond to Hitler's overtures and immediately sign a peace agreement without dismantling Germany's military capabilities.
