But so far, we're not at war....that's good.
The standard response is: "Hate them more, distrust them more, and sanction them more!" …Agreed.
The critics bear the burden of explaining what their alternative is, and as best I can tell they have little to offer but whining.
It's like the health care debate. The Republicans keep chanting "Obamacare is bad, Obamacare is bad, Obamacare is bad, etc" but for fifty years they offered nothing, and still haven't put a serious alternative on the table. This isn't a partisan comment, the Dems often do the same thing. Bush was always wrong, wrong, wrong whatever he did or didn't do too.
We should applaud those who can bring forward a better alternative, or even a serious option to consider. But those who whine without offering an alternative of their own should be told to sit down and shut the #$%# up.
Exactly.The standard response is: "Hate them more, distrust them more, and sanction them more!" …
… but I've yet to hear anyone articulate how doing more of what's failed is likely to achieve better results.
Exactly.
The west in general, and the USA in particular, have boxed themselves in with greed based policies for decades. We've supported every dictator who came along and kept the oil flowing, regardless of the impact on the people who live there.

I think that is a very reputable organization and find the report to be reasonable. I note comments like this:I would be interested in seeing a credible critique of the Fact Sheet: Iran's Nuclear and Ballistic Missile Program and the organization behind it.
Since the signing of the JPOA in November 2013, the IAEA has observed a significant reduction in Iran’s uranium stockpiles and production; however, Iran still possesses certain uranium stockpiles and enrichment capabilities. :
- Since January 2014, Iran has not produced uranium enriched above 5%
- Stockpiles of 20% enriched uranium have been reduced to 38.4 kg through downblending or conversion into uranium oxide; this is half the amount of nuclear material that was present in the 20% form in January 2014. Iran claims the remaining stockpile of 20% enriched uranium is intended only for the purpose of manufacture of fuel for research reactors.
- As of the June 2014 IAEA report, the amount of 5% enriched uranium in Iranian facilities is currently 8,475 kg. Of this amount, 107 kg has been produced from downblending of 20% enriched uranium, in accordance with JPOA standards.
‘Israel needs to find the right time to stop Iran’s nuclear program’ - Middle East - Jerusalem PostInbar added that a nuclear deal is no longer enough to prevent Iran from going nuclear and that only an attack can stop the Shi’ite country from getting the bomb.
Exactly.The problem I have with those opposed to the deal is the assumption that the rest of the world would go along with the USA. The second is that not having a deal would lower the odds of Iran getting the bomb. Both to me are bad assumptions.
This is delusional. Even the Iranian Parliament said no such deal claimed by the Obama regime was ever agreed upon by Iran in framework, what Obama is saying as the fact sheets are lies.
The tyrant (called the "Supreme Leader") Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final word on all matters of state, was "defiant over a final deal" and said Obama is a "backstabber".
I'm not in favor of a deal on any terms. Unless Iran goes along with it including intrusive inspections, we should walk away from the table. I suspect, though, that what we're seeing from Iran is "Kabuki" and that they'll agree to a final deal. But if they don't, then the consequences are on their heads.This is delusional. Even the Iranian Parliament said no such deal claimed by the Obama regime was ever agreed upon by Iran in framework, what Obama is saying as the fact sheets are lies.

This is what happens when a regime, a rouge unilateralist acting unconstitutionally without the approval of the people's Congress starts making treaties on his own as if he has the right to do so as Obama is doing, we end up with a one man show-(off) that is then called "America" but is not America but a one man show-(off) acting like yet another tyrant who is illiterate in the actual reality of the world, messing up everything and bringing the entire region into chaos.
It doesn't matter if the "deal" is "good" or "bad", the issue is do we have a Republic or a Democracy anymore? There is no "deal", there never will be, it is only Obama's paper medal he has hung on his chest. Just like he is doing in relationship to the Cuban dictatorship, in that case now all he is doing is saving that failed regime the last minute and giving them enough money so the Cuban zealot regime can now also pursue a nuclear bomb of their own. North Korea got the bomb while Clinton told Americans the same "deal". None of this is "working". Obama is a disaster.
The real question the so-called journalists at those rather pathetic "news conferences" with the "White House" should be asking is, not whether this is a good deal or a bad deal, since there is no deal, but rather:
"Mister President, what is the difference between you just doing things unilaterally without the representatives of the people in Congress and the Ayatollah?"

By the way, why is this in the "Indigenous Religions and Myth DIR"?
Is the "deal" (ha ha), the "framework" (ha ha ha), a ME indigenous religion? Or is the "deal" (lol) a ME myth?
I just posted (and deleted) the same story. Putin is slowly trying to recreate the cold war by swallowing territory and doing things like this.
Does anyone really believe Iran will not try to make a nuclear bomb then use it?
