Yes, and I was correct about them as well. I knew that they were wrong, which is why I endlessly posted against the Iraq War Venture and AGAINST staying in Afghanistan, because as a student of history I knew how it would almost inevitably turn out. I am also correct about this bad 'deal' with Iran.

No, you aren't.


This deal is supported by every major power on the planet. If it fails, the international sanctions that Obama got put in place (after Bush was unable to convince anyone to go along with him) will crumble and Iran will not only be free from any responsibility to submit to inspections, but it will have considerably less economic pressure on it to do so as well.

I cannot guarantee whether this deal will prevent Iran from getting a bomb eventually. Iran is surrounded on all four sides by enemies with atomic weapons (Russia, Pakistan, Isreal and the United States), It has every reason to nuke up, a reality that will be a certainty if the right wing and Isreal destroy this deal.

The best opportunity we have is to get Iran to open up to the outside world. It isn't a guarantee. But we've had thirty years of the opposite approach and it hasn't worked.

Conservatives will yell about crowds chanting "death to America" and then conveniently forget that a US Presidential candidate said "Bomb, bomb,bomb,......bomb, bomb Iran" a sentiment you see here (and no doubt in the AM talk radio sewer) every single day.

It's odd that you seem to take validation from the exact same group of experts that claimed the Iraq was a good idea.
