Nazi Germany in 1938 annexed territory in Czechoslovakia as part of the Munich Agreement, only to have Hitler invade the rest of the country later on. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) thinks that what we're hearing now of the Obama administration's deal with Iran over the country's nuclear program is "echoes of history."

Cruz joined fellow Republican senators to sign a controversial letter to Iran warning Iranian leaders that any deal Obama makes with them will first have to be approved by Congress and may not last.
