Why Won't America Face Up To Iranian Evil

In the 1930's, Adolph Hitler told the world exactly what he intended to do - and he did it. Today we have the Iranians telling us what they intend, they're moving toward that goal in plain sight, and the Democrats and the Europeans, the UN etc, seem determined not to see it.

Even after the regime had held our diplomats hostage in Iran for more than a year, the Carter administration "approved a series of humiliating concessions" in the hope of securing their release. It was that way to the bitter end. On the day before he left office, Carter issued Executive Order 12283, which immunized the Iranian government from lawsuits arising from the seizure of the embassy.

President Obama deludes himself that "outreach" to the mullahs represents some sort of new departure in American policy. In fact, every administration since Carter's has repeatedly attempted to "engage" the mullahs.
