Since Obama decided to go it alone and ram his full capitulation to Tehran down the American people's throats, let's see what the peasants he is ignoring think about the regime whose interests he is putting before their own:

Just 51 percent of those interviewed said the U.S. should have diplomatic relations with Iran while 45 percent said it shouldnt. At the same time, 77 percent of those interviewed said the harsh U.S. and international economic sanctions against Iran should be preserved at current levels or even increased.

Only 12 percent of those interviewed thought sanctions should be decreased and seven percent said they should be eliminated altogether.

The publics wariness and distrust of dating back to the 1979 Iranian revolution and U.S. hostage crisis matches the reception the nuclear agreement has received on Capitol Hill where most Republicans and some Democrats say they fear Obama has conceded too much to a country that has fomented terrorist activities throughout the Middle East and has repeatedly vowed to destroy Israel.

Fifty-six percent of Americans consider Iran to be an enemy, according to the poll conducted last Thursday through Monday, while an additional 31 percent consider Iran to be unfriendly but not an enemy. More than 70 percent of Republicans, half of all independents and 45 percent of Democrats described Iran as the enemy.

There's that and a Monmouth University poll that finds a majority of Americans don't trust Tehran at all, and why should they?

We're talking about a regime that has American blood on its hands, supports terrorist groups and has a long history of stonewalling and deceiving the international community and the IAEA about the dimensions of its nuclear program.

Of course, the American people's distrust in both understandable and expected, which brings us back to the question why the megalomaniac in the White House decided to go around the American people and their representatives in Washington and subject his immoral deal to the treaty process.

It's obvious that he knew that his deal would get shot down, but he went ahead with it anyway. As has been the case with ObamaCare: Screw the American people. What they want doesn't matter.

One can't help but notice the resemblance between Obama and the autocrats he is appeasing in Iran. They both possess and display an arrogant contempt and disregard for the people in their respective countries.

That's what you get when you empower ideologues. Now that the damage is done, are we going to learn our lesson?

Damn Obama for wanting diplomancy to work, as a way to keep from destabilizing the middle east even worse, and damn him for wanting to not lose American lives again.

Those americans who want to go to war, will not serve, for they want others, to do the dying, so they can watch it with a beer in their hand, as they would watch the fireworks display on the 4th of July.

The thing is, most americans have been propagandized, and are too damned stupid to even see it.

A few years ago, several intel agencies, over 10 of them, looked hard at Iran and whether they were still working on a nuke. To the dismay of the neocons the conclusion was, Iran was not doing it. And had stopped years ago. But these pro war americans do not know of this intel study. For they are ignorant and the propaganda they consume makes damned sure the conclusion of those intel groups are not mentioned.

Propagandized americans are idiots, and we are surrounded by them. And you just cannot fix stupid, which is a shame. It is dangerous to so much human life to be stupid. Stupidity kills, but not the ones sitting at home being entertained by war.
