Quote:There is no such thing as diplomacy when it comes to avowed enemies.

 

To answer your question, no the issue of our citizens being held in their prisons was not even addressed.  One of them is in prison simply for being a Christian.  Noodle that for a bit.

 

 

 

Can you explain why regarding the part in bold?

 

Make no mistake, this deal on the surface appears to be a very bad thing.

 

Why is it a bad deal - on the surface. What does that mean? It's either good or bad.

 

It's a nuclear deal, not a deal about other aspects regarding Iranian or American foreign policy. Of course, Republicans and Democrats had their statements ready before the deal was signed, so I don't expect too much enlightenment from the politicians.

 

If someone was expecting an Iranian capitulation they'll see it as a bad deal. I'll read up on it and expect it to be the result of real negotiations - i.e., some give and take, some good and bad.
