Iran attack

Hitler took power in 1933 and the world watched as he built up the military, something he was forbidden to do by the Treaty of Versailles. Then he embarked on a program to take the Saar Region in 1935, the Rhineland in 1936, Austria in 1938, Sudetenland in 1938, Czechoslovakia in 1939 and Memel in late 1939. Then Sept 1,1939 he invaded Poland and the West had had enough and declared war on Germany. Historians now agree that if Hitler had been challenged when took he the Saar Region, it might have prevented WW 2. Today the West is faced with the dictators in Iran building up their military. For 47 years this theocracy has stated their goal is to wipe Israel off the map. Once again, the West tried to negotiate using state craft and various sanctions but Iran kept on building more rockets and drones along with the constant threat of nuclear bombs but through it all the West responded with more threats. Jump ahead 20 years and Iran launches a major attack on Israel and Israel responds with nuclear bombs and the West is stunned. Millions are killed outright and many more suffer radiation burns. It is Nagasaki all over again only many times worse. Years later the historians agree that if Iran had been stopped earlier this could have been prevented. It is not possible to predict the future but when a dictatorship says for 50 years, they want to destroy their enemies, it is wise to pay attention. The way many have responded to the attack on Iran offers the reasons why world leaders were fearful of acting. It is always easier to put off action when possible and pass the buck.
