It's a Wonderful Day in the Arab Neighborhood

WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

I thought Obama and Kerry were all about existing in a new century that had divorced itself from the bad behaviors of the past.  So, why have they been using Mr. Rogers' diplomacy, which was used in the 1930's and resulted in the deaths of 6 million enslaved Jews and millions of armed soldiers by the end of the mid 1940's?  Could it be they think freedom loving Jews are a bigger danger to peace than bomb-wielding Muslims?

Susan Rice, Rhodes squeal, said America's approach to Iran will be "Distrust and verify" in a speech to the AIPAC organization (American Israel Public Affairs Committee).  Obama said, after the negotiated framework of a nuclear deal with Iran, that the inspections of  Iran's nuclear facilities will be unprecedented.  Under this deal, we should therefore believe that stopping Iran from acquiring a nuke will be a "slam dunk".  The problem with believing this is it won't be a hulking Wilt Chamberlain protecting the nuclear basket, but a bony-assed Neville Chamberlain.

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain probably believed that Hitler's rhetoric was only for domestic consumption and that giving Hitler a few bread crumbs (part of Czechoslovakia) would result in "peace in our [their] time".  The Obama administration wants us to believe that the leader of Iran calling for "death to America" is also just for domestic consumption.  The Mr. Rogers' diplomacy of Neville Chamberlain was too ambitious.  He wanted peace for a generation.  Obama learned that lesson.  He's only looking for peace in his time.
