LETTER: Ask Sen. Tester to stop Iran deal while we still can

The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (Public Law 114-17) prevents the president from waiving or suspending congressional sanctions before Congress itself has the chance to vote on an agreement, if one is reached.

Under this law, Congress has 60 days to review the proposed agreement once all pertinent documents are submitted.

We have lessons from history to look to, and those lessons are from just 77 years ago, when Hitler was ready to take Czechoslovakia and the British prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, went to Munich, Germany, to negotiate with Hitler.  

Chamberlain agreed that Germany could take a large part of the Czech state and came back to Parliament saying that “We have achieved peace in our time.” Winston Churchill said to him in Parliament, “Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.”

Of course that action just made Hitler ready to start WWII. We might be at the same crossroads today. If any reader agrees with this analysis, then contact Sen. Jon Tester, who seems to not have made up his mind, yet, on how to vote. —Jerry Weissman, Great Falls
