Robert J. Avrech: Emmy Award winning screenwriter. Movie fanatic. Helplessly and hopelessly in love with my wife since age nine.
As the GOP debate got underway, I had a flashback.
My parents gave me a Kodak Brownie for my eighth birthday. The Brownie was capable of shooting 12 negatives. Each picture was so precious to me that I chose my shots ever so carefully. It was not unusual for me to take two or three weeks to shoot the full roll.

“You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.”
These were the prophetic words spoken by Winston Churchill in the immediate aftermath of the signing of the Munich treaty which handed Czechoslavakia to the Nazis in return for “peace in our time.” Of course, in less than a year, the world was at war.

Rising at 4 to take my daily three mile walk, I spend a fair amount of time reviewing in my head current events, and deciding what to blog about.
Iran’s march to becoming a nuclear power is frequently at the top of my list. Iran is the world’s greatest exporter of Islamic terrorism. They have been killing Americans ever since the Islamic revolution and they continue to imprison innocent Americans on trumped-up charges of spying. The Jews of Iran have been fleeing at a steady rate for decades. And of course, the Iranians have told the world that the annihilation of Israel is non-negotiable — which doesn’t bother Barack Obama in the least.
Obama will sign anything with the Iranians. That much is clear. He’s looking for his peace-in-our-time moment, unaware of its grim irony because, as any self-infatuated adolescent, he sees himself as operating outside of history.
As Trotsky said, “You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”
Anyhoo. I’ve decided not to write about Iran—okay, maybe just a little—nor about the war on police being waged by the media and shameless race hustlers.
