Quote:Understandable and I agree. What I don't agree with is absolutism and a completely unrealistic expectation of total capitulation. That would not happen from any country in the world (outside of total war and a defeat in it ala Germany, if even that these days) let alone Iran. I know that's what the right and even some I know on the left wanted but it's simply not realistic.

 

My main interest is in how the remaining nuclear can be used and if there are mechanisms in place to return sanctions should the renege or hinder inspections or the like as was mentioned when this first became a story. It's not, IMO reasonable to expect for any country to give up all access to nuclear when it's so important for the energy and medical fields. 

 

Hard diplomacy often avoids quick wars. When we bend on the political, economical and multinational pressure we leave only the military as an option to keep them in check. At all cost I want to avoid another war in the middle east. This step to me sets us up to get dragged back into the middle east in a very short period of time.
