We say that evil is dark, but this metaphor is imprecise.

Evil is actually intensely bright, so painfully bright that people look away from it, many

even deny its existence.

Why?

Because once people acknowledge evil's existence, they know they have to confront it.

And most people prefer not to confront evil.

That is what led to World War II and the death of 55 million people.

Many in the West denied the darkness of Nazism.

They looked the other way when that evil could have been stopped and then appeased it as

it became stronger.

We are reliving 1938 the year that democratic Western nations assured a police state

and Nazi regime that they would do nothing to prevent its expansion.

That year the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain went to Munich to negotiate with

Adolf Hitler.

He left believing Hitler's promises of peace in exchange for Germany being allowed to annex

large parts of Czechoslovakia.

Upon returning to England, Chamberlain announced peace for our time.

The 2015 agreement between America, Europe, Russia, China and Iran mirrors 1938.

The Nazi regime was a police state.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is a police state.

The Nazi's greatest aim was to exterminate the Jews of Europe.

Iran's greatest aim is to exterminate the Jewish state.
