Quote:We're talking about a month here. Are you really suggesting that a determined military can't remove bomb-making evidence from a facility in 24 days?


 

Your reason for optimism totally rests on trust in authority. That seems to be one of the hallmarks of the left, to trust the ruling elite to always do the right thing. History says otherwise. As far as this particular deal is concerned, the text says otherwise. How can you be optimistic about a deal 
with no meaningful verification, and no set consequences if by some miracle the Iranians are stupid enough to get caught? Do you actually trust the Iranian government?

As opposed to constant fear and distrust of everyone?

 

Look I come to my cautious optimism as I have previously posted, based on a multi national support backing the deal as well as what appears to be a positive reception in the non-proliferation community including the IAEA itself.

 

I fully understand a hallmark of the right is total distrust of everyone without an R in front of their name and in particular scientists and those in the intellectual community that disagrees with you. Since we are making sweeping generalizations and all.
