Mr. President:
Mr. President:
Fighting al-Qaeda made you like Churchill. Appeasing Iran will make you like Chamberlain. Those of us who were awed at your resolve in taking out America’s foremost enemy, Osama bin Laden, are now mystified by your willingness to appease its foremost threat, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the terror overlord who just last week promised “Death to America.” In 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain believed he could satisfy Hitler’s ravenous ambitions with the sacrifice of Czechoslovakia in the infamous Munich Pact. The doomed agreement was endorsed by The New York Times as “the price of peace.” The price turned out to be 60 million lives. Today, Mr. President, you are on the verge of concluding a pact that will enable the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism to become a nuclear power – even as its leader defiantly calls for a holocaust in Israel. Your administration seems to believe that leaving Iran with a military-grade, 6,500-centrifuge-strong enrichment capability, along with long-range missiles, is the best path to peace.

But just as there was no “peace for our time” in appeasing Hitler in the 1930s, there will be no peace by appeasing the Hitler-wannabe Khamenei in the 2010s. The comparison is not extreme. Hitler publicly promised the extermination of the world’s Jews. Khamenei promises exactly the same, including his recent statement that Israel “has no cure but to be annihilated.” You are the first African-American President. You are about to conduct your annual Passover Seder in the White House. You are familiar with the long, tragic history of the Jewish people, later mirrored in the painful African-American experience.
We look to you as leader of the free world and our friend to understand that Jews today are being murdered around the globe. We need you to stand up for us. We need you to fight evil. First, demand that no deal be signed until Khamenei personally and publicly repudiates all genocidal threats against Israel. Second, demand that Iran, which has murdered thousands of American troops through Shi’a proxies and is called by your State Department the world’s “most active state sponsor of terrorism,” cease all support of terror worldwide. Third, publicly condemn the stoning of women and public hangings of gays before any deal is signed. America cannot legitimize a government engaged in such cruelty and barbarity. Finally, do not sign a deal that allows the potentially catastrophic one-year-weapons-breakout period, which endangers Israel, the Middle East, America and the world. Iran now has control over five Middle Eastern capitals, and you yourself said that its obtaining a nuclear weapon is “a game changer.” Faced with a threat of this magnitude, give the American people the final say on any deal with Iran by allowing their elected leaders in Congress to vote for, and ratify, your treaty – rather than the current plan of taking it to the United Nations Security Council where Vladimir Putin’s veto will decide. Please don’t ignore the 68 Senators, 367 Members of the House of Representatives from both parties, and many of Iran’s neighbors, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and others, who have expressed grave concern about the calamitous capitulation to, and appeasement of, Iran. As Winston Churchill prophetically warned Neville Chamberlain: “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.”
