(Jerusalem Post) Melanie Phillips - Last week, the EU and the three European co-signers of the Iran deal - Britain, France and Germany - said they would set up a new payment system to allow oil companies and businesses to continue trading with Iran. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded that the Europeans were now "solidifying Iran's ranking as the number-one state sponsor of terror" with "one of the most counterproductive measures imaginable for regional peace and security." The Iran deal's sponsors convinced themselves that the deal would tame the Iranian regime and somehow defuse Iran's nuclear weapons threat. Such mental contortionism is typical of the mentality of appeasement. At Munich in 1938, appeasement didn't prevent war; it merely made an always inevitable war even more terrible. The European attempt to keep rewarding Iran is a blow against world peace. The U.S. has already weakened the world's principal genocidal terrorist state - while Britain and Europe, having empowered it, are now trying to strengthen it still further.
