Andrew Bostom: Accommodating Totalitarianism, from the USSR to Iran

Diana West Saturday, April 19, 2014

On November 16, 1933, FDR “normalized” relations with the USSR in spite of overwhelming evidence that USSR was anything but a “normal” state. On the contrary, it was a self-declared revolutionary entity openly (and covertly) dedicated to the subversion and overthrow of non-Communist nations. The US-USSR agreement included Soviet promises not to foment the overthrow of our Constitution, not to support agents attempting to overthrow our Constitution, and the like – all of which was already underway and, after the agreement, would only increase. Maintaining this diplomatic (later military) relationship, then, required looking the other way, the sustained denial of the facts, and even outright lies – a pattern of behavior, I argue in American Betrayal, that ultimately helped subvert our government, and even our nation’s character.

Without a serious re-examination and revision of these events, these patterns just continue. Indeed, as I argue in the book, this same pattern of behavior may be seen in current US dealings with Islam in all of its guises.

In Andrew Bostom's timely and substantive new book, Iran's Final Solution for Israel,* Bostom makes a paradigm-breaking case study of US-led negotiations with Iran, chronicling similar patterns of denial that mask the ideological and religious imperatives that drive Iran's open, frequently declared intentions to destroy Israel. I have asked Andy, to expand on whether the agreement between Iran and “P5 +1” -- the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (US, Britain, France, Russia, China) plus Germany) -- is another iteration of this same denial of reality…..To Read More….
