Bad deal with Iran is appeasement!

Now we have an agreement with Iran, that the administration says will delay their nuclear development . You have to worry about any agreement from a country where parts of it's military chant "Death to America". Make no mistake about it, this is a fascist state  on the march similar to Hitler's Germany. God help us if history repeats itself.

Back in the 1930's , before WW2 started, England thought they had an agreement from Germany, that they would not conquer anymore territory, it was the Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938.Of coarse, Hitler broke the agreement and invaded Poland, which started WW2. Hitler also had a non-aggression agreement with the Soviet Union, the Soviet-German non-aggression Treaty of August 23,1939. He broke that one also and invaded the Soviet Union.

Hitler used these agreements to play for time until his military was ready to take on the world. I fear that is happening again. Iran will use this relaxing of the sanctions to appease it's suffering population and bring their nuclear program closer to a nuclear weapon.  If this happens, the world will never be the same.

Once Iran has nuclear weapons, they would be unstoppable in their quest for an Islamic world. So even though they would just have a few nukes and we with thousands, they would be immune from a conventional attack because they could wipe out any US carrier force with just one nuclear bomb.That means, the around the clock bombing that the US was able to use in non nuclear wars,like in Iraq, would be obsolete, because without carriers the bombers would have to fly from the US all the way to Iran. I don't think any neighboring country will let us fly out of their country for fear of being struck by Iran..

At this point they could run havoc throughout the world and blackmail the west into giving in to their demands. Because the west is outnumbered 100 to 1 in population compared to the rest of the world, our only option would be to use our nuclear superiority to initiate a nuclear attack. The west has no stomach to do this unless Iran used it first, which it will never do.

The US is in a awkward position with a discredited administration telling us that everything is going to be ok.

Is it necessary to believe in God?

When I watch animals in nature, whether in a documentary or just birds or squirrels interacting with each other, I wonder when was the point in time humans acquired a conscience.

While animals display the best in human traits such as, nurturing and protecting their young and showing courage in the hunt, they also display the worst such as birds stealing food out of the mouths of other birds and killing without remorse.While these traits are evident in humans, it is not the norm among the mass of people. No civilization could survive if everyone stole and killed without remorse.

In looking back to ancient civilizations, it is evident that they believed in and worshipped some kind of supernatural entity. It seems that it is hard wired into our consciousness to believe in life after death and a entity that watches and judges  them. If the gods were not obeyed a terrible price would be paid. Or so they believed.

It was necessary to keep order in a society. Without it, even with a iron hand government that cracked down harshly on any rule breaker, there is massive corruption by the people and their leaders and order is kept through the most horrid brutality. Look at the bleak and harsh rule of the old Soviet Union or North Korea now.

Without belief in a after life or god, if a individual thought he could get away with a crime without punishment, what is to stop him from taking advantage of a opportunity. Humans,as well as animals, are basically selfish and will do what is best for themselves, regardless of the cost to society.

Where does altruism come into play with humans that does not exist in the animal world? What prevents humans from stealing and killing each other to satisfy their desires? Is it just the law? Does the law stop serial killers? Could someone be a serial killer, that kills for pleasure , if he thought a higher power was watching him and would punish him for his evil for all eternity.

The difference between us and animals is a conscience which became part of his nature when millions of years ago some ape looked up at the stars and wondered , does my life have meaning?

If you are a non-believer, science over the last 50 years have shown evidence of Intelligent Design. For example: the universe had a beginning with the Big bang.
