Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich delivered a very powerful speech on the current situation with Iran's desire to acquire nuclear weapons. The speech was given to the Jewish National Fund on November 15th, 2007 at the Selig Center for Economic Growth, on the campus of The University of Georgia:
In the speech, he draws several parallels to the Holocaust, the most important of which include:
1. “The complaint about Iraq is a performance complaint, not a values complaint.”
2. “And so we’re living a life of cowardice, and in that life of cowardice we’re sleepwalking into a nightmare.”
3. “Our enemies are peaceful when they’re weak, are ruthless when they’re strong, demand mercy when they’re losing, show no mercy when they’re winning.”
4. ” We had better take this seriously because we are not very many mistakes away from a second Holocaust.”
