Israel and Saudi Arabia have both issued statements making it clear that they will not accept an Iranian bomb. And unlike Obama, they actually mean it. What they will do about it is another question, but now they, and everyone on the firing line, knows that Obama will do nothing and that sets them free to act. Chamberlain’s deal with Hitler signified that the UK was no longer willing or able to stop the Nazis. And despite its eventual declaration of war and the heroic efforts of its people; the United States ushered in the American world order by destroying the Nazi war machine and liberating Western Europe. Chamberlain’s “Peace in Our Time” recognized a Post-British world order. Obama’s Iran deal recognizes a Post-American world order. The Middle East is in chaos because American power has vanished. The P5+1 agreement is a statement that Western nations are unwilling and unable to do anything about Iran’s nuclear ambitions except save face. And that they expect their allies to live with that. This trickledown effect was why China should not have been allowed to go nuclear, why North Korea should not have been allowed to go nuclear and why Pakistan should not have been allowed to go nuclear. The process that began with the Atom Bomb spies helping the USSR go nuclear has kept moving forward allowing smaller and more erratic players to be able to kill millions with the push of a button. Despite Iran’s religious war, it has a history of trying to work with Sunni terrorist groups; including Hamas and Al Qaeda. Saudi Arabia has made it clear that it will go nuclear if Iran does. And Saudi Arabia is to Sunni Islamic terrorists what Iran is to Shiite Islamic terrorists. Israel has gotten into the bad habit of acting as if the United States had all the answers. If it had gone on waiting for Obama to do the right thing, millions might have died. Now it knows that there is no one in Washington to turn to for answers. If it is to have a prayer, it must act on its own. In a Post-American world; Israel stands alone. It will live or die based on what it does next.
