WSJ 9.24 Netanyahu Blasts Ahmadinejad at UN, Christopher Roads

Christopher Road's article in the September 24, Wall Street Journal, "Netanyahu blasts Ahmadinejad at U.N." brings us as a nation back to a horrible reality that we Americans must help the Jewish state confront. The President stated at the United Nations that the U.S. will not be able to help solve the world's problems alone, we would have to rely on other countries and act as an international coalition.

Mr. President, I do not believe for one moment that you are either ignorant or uninformed about the lessons of History on the subject of appeasement and boisterous dictators. The historian Santanyana speaks to all of us in his statement that "those who fail to learn from the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them." Munich, was a three dimensional display of what results when bullies and mad men are cajoled and placated by those who fail to use power in dealing with their rants and predictions.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is right on target in blasting this coward publicly, and frankly I wonder why the United States did not do the same. Hitler's placation by the great powers, who could have eliminated him when he was small and inconsequential, could have saved some forty-fifty million lives including many millions of Jews. This appeasement of a potential aggressor can never be allowed by the United States to happen again.

Settlements may be a bothersome issue for peace negotiations but these houses are miniscule in comparison to a raving maniacal despot whose announced goal is to wipe the Jewish state off the face of the earth. The holocaust is a reality, history proves beyond doubt, the holocaust and the deaths of millions of innocent Jewish men, women and children without any question. Ahmadinejad and his words are meant to be implemented by him into action against Israel in the future, this also is reality.

If the Iranian administration and this despot continue with this barbarous scheme, we will have to, in the words of the Secretary of State, when she was a Presidential candidate, have to obliterate them. This threat of Ahmadinejad against Israel, surpasses, healthcare reform, cap and trade, increased taxes, and even the economy. We must deal with this matter expeditiously.
