With all due respect:

 

Quote:All due respect thats missing very pertinent facts. 1.) this deal arms iran exponentially. No it doesn't


2.) our allies are reluctant because we have not lead in the world stage.  No they aren't


3.) nukes are an invasion deturant.  Even if true, so what, and they are not nearly the deterent that the Zagros mountains are.


After they cross that threshhold u cant just take out the regime with a hundred k troops.  We couldn't do that now anyway, and we shouldn't want to.


Casualty projections become unthinkable let alone the potential for terrorism A terrorist with a nuclear bomb is a truly frightening thing.  It would be nice to have some inspectors, or something, watching the whole time, huh?

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't love the deal, nor does the Obama administration.  But the idea that the deal somehow puts them closer to a nuclear weapon than if we just left things the way they are is just, simply, false.  20 pages in, I'm pretty sure we've covered that ground before.

 

And I'm sick of us going it alone, BTW.  The British, French, Germans, Chinese and Russians don't want a nuclear Iran any more than we do.  Let's hang with them for a few years, let the Mullahs die off, and show a new generation of Iranians just how awesome and cool we are.

 

Maybe in time, they will forgive us for engineering the 1953 coup of their freely elected government, and we can forgive them for their chicken-(you know what) hostage taking in 1980.
