With the nuclear deal with Iran, there's a lot of talk of Obama and appeasement. But this analogy makes sense only if you assume the deal will fail. Chamberlain believed that Sudetenland was Hitler's "last territorial demand in Europe" and that Munich brought "peace in our time." He had worthy objectives. One could wish him well and hope for a positive outcome. But a successful Iranian nuclear deal would make the U.S. Iran's ally against Israel. Getting the U.S. to switch sides in the global struggle between democracy and totalitarianism is the point. Chamberlain expected Hitler to keep his end of the bargain, but Obama seems little concerned as to whether or not the Iranians follow any of the agreed restrictions on their nuclear program.
