What now?

The prime minister of Israel must feel a bit like Winston Churchill before the outbreak of WW2.
He was told that the Nazis have to be appeased and that war needed to be avoided at all costs.
The Nazis understood the weakness of the English and then started WW2.
War could have been avoided if the allies had acted decisively.
The same scenario is playing itself out now.
We are being told that Iran will not accept the complete dismantlement of its nuclear capabilities, it cannot happen.
Why should Iran agree to something that the US thinks is unrealistic?.
The real question at hand is what happens next.
If congress does not let this agreement go forward with Iran what then happens?
It is unclear to many if Israel is capable of destroying the nuclear capability of the Iranians.
It is likely even probable that Israel is ready and able to significantly reduce these capabilities.
This will be a earth shaking event as war would likely break out between Iran and Israel.
Not to mention the Hizbullah and Hamas that may very well attack if Israel preempts and strikes Iran.
As the Iranians say they will not dismantle the capabilities to strike Israel and Israel will not accept an almost nuclear Iran some simple conclusions can be drawn.
War.
It seems to be what will happen.
The US may avoid all this by standing firm.
Signing an agreement with Iran is not peace in our time.
Anyone who wants to avoid war should be ready to fight.
History has taught us this.
