"I don't think there is interest but if people still want to consider the merits of the Iran deal here is a good article" Laurie
Laurie, I think this our favorite kind of topic. One with no sure answer. We can discuss those time and again...
Is There a Viable Alternative to the Iran Deal?

Very lengthy and confusing article, when it seems so simple. Regardless of all the rhetoric and technicalities, all you need to know can be learned by seeing what the Iranians do and say in reaction. "Death to America" doesn't really sound like a new era of cooperation.
Actually, I was pretty much convinced that this was another Obamacare lipstick-on-a-pig moment when the "big breakthrough that allows talks to continue" was announced a few weeks ago. Apparently Iran already had 9000 pounds (tons/kilos/whatever) of highly enriched uranium, the stuff that has no purpose except for nuclear weapons, and NOT usable for nuclear power. They agreed to reduce that to only 4000 pounds (...) but with no limits placed on the number of centrifuges producing more! Shouldn't that stockpile have been reduced to zero?!!! What a deal!
Actually, the military option was never removed from the table; it was always there and still is there. The Iran agreement simply cannot be separated from the geopolitical that is always there.
we can always bomb iran. This agreement gives us options short of that.

The GOP's Iran Dilemma
The link is to a column written by Pat Buchanan, who for once actually makes a little sense.
Pat Buchanan "makes a little sense" quite often. In this case, though, it is too little. The Ayatollah over there just today announced that they will continue supporting as much terrorism as they want with the huge "signing bonus" Obama will give them. Buchanan has been believing what Obama is saying about the agreement when he should be listening to the Ayatollah.
