I guess the Iranians pulled a fast one on the world powers . . . . When you watch, listen to or read the Fringe Media, they make it sound like it was a bilateral negotiation between US and Iran.

It appears my friend political rhetoric;s do NOT realize what brought Iran to table to begin with..IF they negate THIS agreement..GONE is the Wrold's support right along with ability to have ability to monitor their development of Nuclear Power!!! But hey..Can;t talk to stupid I guess

"The Iran deal is an example of us not surrendering our way of life." Yep, works for me.

The global society we live in now requires more sophistication, more nuance. I don't know the details of the deal itself to comment, but I do know that Israel's militaristic approach to dealing with international relations hasn't solved anything.

Perhaps diplomacy is the better way to control our enemies.
Those set against it is 1) purely political rhetoric of hatreds 2) ASSume Monitoring is inadequate 3) refuse to accept anything BO and his Administrations does!! So hey...If BO says sky is Blue..Political talking heads would say..He's not only wrong BUT blah bah!!

It hasn't been perfect but overall pretty good.
Cup half full??

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that for a foreigner like yours truly, it sure seems symptomatic for the US worldview that most confrontations must end with a clear winner and a clear loser. Multitudes of lawsuits, two-party system, jingoist foreign policy views, communities defining themselves by associating with sports teams... Not all, clearly, but a sizable portion.

Exactly as I have been pointing out. This was not a 'one nation' deal, although the US of A took a decided lead.

As I mentioned in one of other dozen or so threads about this subject, I well recall 'conservatives' ('hawks', back then, which included both Democratic and Republican parties) being against any deal with the Soviet Union about limiting, and destroying, nuclear weapons. Those Presidents pushed on (including President Reagan; I guess he is now a "RINO"), and it has benefited the world. Back then, they argued that the Soviets could 'not be trusted'. I believe it was Mr. Reagan who first coined the phrase "Trust, but verify", although I could be mistaken.

Find my other posting about this subject. It is (if I do say it) full of wisdom due to experience.

Interestingly, the INF treaty inspections were limited to specified sites only.
