Dear Senator,

The president’s deal with Iran will make the world safer.  That’s what President Obama has told us.  But there are no facts to support his claim.

Not only has Iran has repeatedly violated UN resolutions, but the administration and other governments may have worked to conceal those violations.  Iran has declared its intent to destroy the United States — the Great Satan.  The demands upon Iran are minimal, temporary, and unverifiable.  Even before the ink is dry, Iran is violating the treaty with Maj. Gen. Ghasem Soleimani’s trip to Russia.  Iran will only grow more brazen, because its leaders know that they will not be held accountable by a weak president and an international community in denial.

Senator, this deal is built on a fantasy.  The lessons of Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement are written on the monuments to the martyrs of the Holocaust and World War II.  The lessons of Jimmy Carter’s appeasement treaty are written on the nuclear arsenal of North Korea.  Do we really want to risk the world’s future so that Barack Obama and John Kerry can claim a fictitious victory that is worse than useless?

You don’t have to be Thomas Jefferson to recognize that you can’t make peace with people who don’t want to make peace with you.  Do you really want your name appended to the list of Obama loyalists who will choose politics over common sense?
