What the hell did they just do?

Woke up to multiple stories on our "new" agreement with Iran. From Ben Shapiro at Breitbart:
Worse Than Munich
President Obama�s cowardly deal with the Iranian regime � a regime dedicated to the destruction of Israel, pursuing nuclear weapons in violation of multiple United Nations resolutions, and the persecution of Christians � marks the most ignominious moment in western foreign policy in decades. The easy comparison is to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain�s appeasement of Hitler in Munich in 1938, when he signed allowed Hitler to consolidate his gains in the Sudetenland on the bare promise of no further aggression in Europe.

There are indeed similarities. A war-weary west is being played by a terroristic and fascistic regime bent on regional domination. The deal buys time for further armament by the enemy regime, under the guise of international approval. The leader of the western bloc, President Obama, is being widely hailed as a master diplomat.

But in truth, the west�s appeasement of Iran is significantly worse than its appeasement of Hitler in 1938, for a variety of reasons. First, as of 1938, Hitler had not yet made clear his plans to exterminate European Jewry. He was still attempting to ship European Jews out of Europe; the Final Solution was not formally adopted until 1941. Iran has made clear its desire to wipe Israel off the map. Its current leader, supposed moderate Hassan Rouhani, has refused to acknowledge the Holocaust as historically accurate, participated in a rally calling for Israel�s destruction, and according to Iranian press reports, stated, �The Zionist regime is a wound that has sat on the body of the Muslim world for years and needs to be removed.� Yet the Obama administration wants to pretend he is a moderate.
From Yahoo News/AFP:
Israel blasts Iran nuclear deal as 'historic mistake'
Israel on Sunday lashed out at the Geneva nuclear deal brokered by world powers as being heavily stacked in Iran's favour, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling it a "historic mistake."
And this excerpt from the New York Times:
In return for the initial agreement, the United States agreed to provide $6 billion to $7 billion in sanctions relief.
Seriously, WTF? Are there any adults in the room over there?
