First - almost all coverage I've seen or read on both MSM and left leaning outfits frame this as a deal between Obama and Iran. It is not. Other countries that helped with the negotiations include Russia, Great Britain, France, China Germany and is supported 15 to 0 on the U.N. Security Council.
Secondly, anybody against this is out of their mind and stupid and is a useful idiot for the Military Industrial Complex. This deal is the best thing to happen to the Middle East Since President Carter negotiated a peace between Egypt and Israel back in the late 70's.
The fear mongering drummed up by wealthy friends of Israel (My Israel, right or wrong) is getting really aggressive. I see commercials against it all the time on TV now. To what end? What do these people want? Do they know anything at all about the Iran of today? I'm no expert, but their people are just like us. They want to own a home have a good job, and raise hsppy and healthy kids, just like us here in the USA. There are still some bombastic hardliners that do the "Death to America" recitation, but they're in the same wingnutisphere as Netanyahu, Cruz, Trump and all those other proponents of "war always fixes everything, even thought it never has ever in the past since WW2." Why do they want war for what appears to be war for it's own sake.
Just go back and get a "better deal" WTF? This was negotiated by the most powerful countries on earth and our Diplomats included some of the best diplomacy and nuclear arms control experts on the planet. This was a deal crafted by professional to negotiate peace deals to the worlds benefit without stupid wasteful tragic and cruel wars.
Like Col. Wilkerson said; Those that push for this should be the first to enlist their children, because thats what war does - it wastes the precious lives of children and young adults for the sake of ego and arrogant stupidly and fear.
Have we not evolved? Do we want to consider there's a possibility that we no longer need to solve problems the way they did in ancient Rome? Have we not advanced somewhat to be a more enlightened and courageous stewards of the earth? What sort of monsters create human misery on the scale of armed conflict that never ever ever produces the outcome they profess to want?
I resent and loathe those public features that call for "getting a better deal". Where the fuck were you when this was all being crafted? Do you not know how to participate in your own government?
And DW Schultz is torpedoing this in the DNC, too? To what end? For what good? And does she not know that she is on the wrong side of history. AND MORALITY!
