Iran nuclear agreement

From what I have seen of Iran since the hostage crisis in the late 70's, and on through the supply and support of terrorist organizations today, I wouldn't negotiate for an ice cream cone with those bastards.  They should be treated just like N. Korea as far as I'm concerned.

We can simply ignore most of what N. Korea does because they have no sphere of influence, no natural resources, and little capability to cause real havoc (outside of what they get from Iran).  Unfortunately, we are in a much different situation with Iran.  Curbing Iran's nuclear program is an important aim and is advanced by this deal.  Stopping Iran's nuclear program altogether is a non-starter as far as negotiations.  Reagan's "trust but verify" won't work and it may be that the best we are going to get, at least right now, is "distrust and verify, verify again, and again..."  While I can't say that the best possible deal was negotiated, I do think the deal is better than what we currently have and much better than waging another war in the middle east.  Nothing I have seen, heard, or read convinces me that the world is worse off with this deal than with no deal at all.

We're going to war again in the Middle East, count on it.   The sanctions were hurting Iran and I'm for doubling up on them.  Iran is our enemy, and always will be.  I'm for treating them as such. 

I have had the same experience.......but there is a reason they are here and not there. 

The Iranian Govt. is a regime that supports/participates in terrorism.  We don't negotiate with terrorists......until now.

why can't we all just love eachother

In this case, it's because one of the parties keeps stating that it wants to destroy the other and one of it's greatest allies.  That's hard to get around in a loving way.

LOL - yeah, because I never knew those existed. /sarc

Yes, there have been other instances of stupidity by American Leadership. 

The policy is still no negotiations with terrorists.....or I should say, it was.....up until President Obama decided to change it.

So why is this an American problem?  I have gradually shifted away from the "Minority Report" methodology of punishing everyone in the world based on what we think they're going to do.
The iranians know that they can threaten everyone in the world and scare everybody because it will get them 100's of Billions of dollars in "aid" (aka bribe money) to not do the evil thing that everyone is afraid they're going to do.  There is no way they will ever attack anyone with nuclear weapons because they absolutely know that they will all be wiped off the face of the earth with a response.  They're simply posturing to get more money and it makes me sick to see my tax dollars go to them.

Oh, and I have absolutely no idea whats in the treaty but I guarantee you it has us sending them many billions of dollars.

I don't think I agree with that.  Over the years, I have learned to believe Muslim extremist's words.  They haven't bluffed yet.  So when they say they want Israel wiped off the face of the Earth, or death to the Great Satan (that's our country), I take them at their word.  I think a Muslim extremist regime will use a nuclear bomb.......you know, the whole overrated virgin thing.

I've never understood the virgin thing... I mean, a little experience can go a long way right...

Agree......now, if I was going to be guaranteed 100 women in their mid to late 30's I'd be in my basement trying to develop my own bomb.

I think Jackemy1 has it right.......before this is over, we will be looking at a humanitarian crisis of absolutely epic proportions.

Dude......even when I know you and I are probably not going to agree on this you still managed to crack me up.   And then it got worse.....I ended up looking at all kinds of youtube videos of Michael not really dead and in all kinds of "disguises".  LMAO

Economic sanctions were only effecting the ones who want peace in their lifetime just as badly as we do.  How about we stop interfering in other countries internal struggles (most of which we've played a hand in causing) and quit giving generation after generation after generation a reason to want us dead.  Regime change will come.  It always does.   Frankly, I'm weary of the US playing world Peacekeeper.  Read the headlines-what right do we have to play the moral card to anyone.   

 If we (this is a GLOBAL agreement, remember-not just Obama) can disrupt, delay, stall, or otherwise pose some kind of hindrance to Iran getting a nuke, then we're in better shape than we were before.   The question yet to be answered is.. Do we have the fortitude to ENFORCE the conditions laid out in the agreement?

We are NOT the country our forefather envisioned. And sadly, haven't been for a long, LONG time.

EVERY administration for the last 50 years has led from BEHIND.  

Except Jimmy Carter.  History has shown his Middle East policies were better than he get's credit for.
