Some of the most strident opponents of the nuclear accord with Iran are invoking memories of the Holocaust in an effort to defeat the agreement, arguing the deal could enhance Irans ability to build a bomb, leading to the destruction of Israel.
Those arguments, however, failed to sway two senators who grew up hearing stories of the Holocaust firsthand, despite fierce opposition to the deal from Israeli leaders and some Jewish groups.
My parents told me at a young age what it was like to live in fear, said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. For German Jews, the fear was always the knock on the door in the night. [

Sen. Michael Bennets grandparents smuggled his mother, who was still a baby, out of the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland to escape the Nazis. They, too, had everyone and everything they knew taken from them in the Holocaust, said Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado.
Both senators said the Iran deal is a flawed agreement with an adversary that has threatened both the United States and Israel. But both said they strongly believe the agreement offers the best hope of keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Democrats and sanity are an unlikely combination, not to mention adulthood and civility.

I agree with your statement and take it a bit further....
the Democrat Party is going to get hundreds of thousands of people killed with this faux “deal”. And many of those that perish will be Americans.
