Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif stands on the balcony of Palais Coburg, the venue for nuclear talks, Austria, July 13, 2015.

This picture sums it all up. The Iranian regime is laughing hysterically (and incredulously) at how easily they got whatever they wanted - nuclear bomb-making capability, limited inspections, almost immediate lifting of sanctions bringing in tens of billion$, no limits on their ballistic missile manufacturing, lifting the UN embargo on arms imports, no restrictions on their terrorism and aggression throughout the region, no demand for improvement in their horrible human rights record. You name it, they got it.
If I were them, I would be doing exactly what that Zarif is doing - laughing my brains out.

Why should I care?

The only country on EARTH who has used nuclear weapons is... the United States of America.

What makes us the moral authority?

He's laughing because another fellow, just out of the photo frame, said, "You know Mr. Obama already has a Nobel Peace Prize, right?"

I don't care about Iran in the slightest.

They're a tiny country!

But oh man... the teabillies will get riled up over pretty much any boogey-man the media presents them with.

At some point will ya'll get tired of sending your sons and husbands to die for oil? (corporate profits, that is)

This would actually be funny if it weren't so sad.

Even if Iran has nukes, does anyone really think they'll use them? The only country on Earth that's ever stooped to that level was the US and that was before we realized what we had just introduced to the world and what it could really mean. Iran might be stupid enough to basically be a theocracy, but even that's not nearly stupid enough to actually instigate nuclear war.

The U.S. wasn't "stupid" to use them, and Japan far from being resentful, is now one of our strongest allies. The use of the bomb saved hundreds of thousands of both Japanese and Allied lives.
