Insofar as America is concerned, the articles of appeasement, as we tend to call the Iran deal, had been a dead letter since 2016.
Criticism of the deal focused on details the transfer to Iran of vast sums, say, or the lack of a permanent prohibition on an Iranian A-bomb.
Iran, incidentally, isnt the only country where we have hewn to this principle.
Until such a moment obtains in Iran, we fail to see the logic of treating with the ayatollahs.
The apologists for Mr. Obamas appeasement of the Iranians like to speak of dealing with the world as it is.
The World As It Is is even the title of the memoir of Mr. Obamas famed foreign policy penman, Ben Rhodes, who sold the Iran deal by palming off on the public conclusions that even the Times, in a devastating profile, suggested were misleading and false.
Such threats are being heard again this week, when, according to the Agence France-Presse, a former head of the Revolutionary Guards is threatening that Iran would react to any attack from America by turning Haifa and Tel Aviv to dust.
