SOWELL: Iran deal a catastrophe of historic proportions
Rapid City Journal ^ | By Thomas Sowell

Posted on 07/23/2015 9:15:30 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

Distinguished scientist Freeman Dyson has called the 1433 decision of the emperor of China to discontinue his country's exploration of the outside world the "worst political blunder in the history of civilization."

The United States seems at this moment about to break the record for the worst political blunder of all time, with its Obama administration deal that will make a nuclear Iran virtually inevitable.

Already the years-long negotiations, with their numerous "deadlines" that have been extended again and again, have reduced the chances that Israel can destroy the Iranian nuclear facilities, which have been multiplied and placed in scattered underground sites during the years when all this was going on.

Israel is the only country even likely to try to destroy those facilities, since Iran has explicitly and repeatedly declared its intention to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

How did we get to this point — and what, if anything, can we do now? Tragically, these are questions that few Americans seem to be asking. We are too preoccupied with our electronic devices, the antics of celebrities and politics as usual. . .

A serious and intelligent man has just called Obama a traitor.

“If he is that savvy at home, why is he so apparently incompetent abroad? Answering that question may indeed require us to “think the unthinkable,” that we have elected a man for whom America’s best interests are not his top priority.”

Obama & Hillary “pledge allegiance to the America that can be”. They feel their job is to make the U.S.A. into their Leftist vision of what that is.

Obama makes everything his top priority, which means nothing has priority.

“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.” ― H.L. Mencken

Liberals hold us individually responsible for nothing but collectively responsible for everything. Thomas Sowell

“Politicians gave us the idea that the things we could not afford individually we could somehow afford collectively through the magic of government.” —Thomas Sowell

When the collective has ownership, no ONE takes responsibility.
Obama has hands on everything, but responsible for nothing.
