So REAL Americans want another war and to fight Israel's battles....... Got it.

Really? re we to believe that we live in a binary world where two and only two choices exist? What foolishness is it to believe that we can allow the world's largest state sponsor of terror to obtain the most devastating weapons ever devised, and therefore those who oppose this are somehow predisposed to war? Look, if you want to war, that is pretty simple. You give the most extreme nations the most extreme weapons. It isn't conservatives who want to see nuclear missles flying throughout the Middle East, it is Barack Obama and his sycophants. Me? I would prefer no one has nuclear weapons and I especially do not want anyone who doesn't fear mutually assured destruction to have them.

So please spare me the ludicrous false-dichotomy that there are two and only two options. If you want trouble, then give a baby a blowtorch, but if you do, please do not pretend for even an instance that you aren't supporting chaos and death on a pretty horrific scale.

I will concede that there is a chance that the Iran deal won't result in a continental conflagration. It may be a pretty small chance. But why risk it? What did the United States get in return for their capitulation. And historically, what has been the result of appeasement to brutal dictators? This deal is a terrifying risk and I am just seeing no reward.
