You obviously didn't live through the Cold War. There were hundreds of thousands of nuclear warheads aimed at the U.S. It doesn't get any more threatening than that.

Really? So you think the Soviet Union was 'friendly' to the USA? Don't you recall your history of that Soviet leader (Khrushchev) banging his shoe on the podium at the United Nations threatening to 'bury' the United States? Of the various proxy wars, including Soviet armed Arab nations attacking Israel?

Selective memory indeed. We children weren't ducking under our little wooden desks just for the fun of it. The leaders back then thought the USSR was a real threat.

Only ridiculously uninformed dolts or dishonest politicians think this is a bad deal. That's why it is going to pass.

Not one of them has the ability to think for themselves. They are all followers, not a leader among them. They don't care what the American people want, they're professional politicians or professional crooks IMO.

Just seems strange to me.
Maybe it's because GOP and Israel said Iran was only months away from getting a nuke before the deal, which means they would already have one today. Did the deal prevent it, or were they just so wrong?

I hope all of you who think this 'deal' is a good thing, is far enough away from the big flash that you suffer as your flesh rots and falls off your body slowly and painfully, giving you time to rethink just how good a deal this really was....

I for one, hope I'm close enough to the flash that I'm melted quickly, and soon greeted in heaven by my heavenly Father...

It almost seems like Obama is mocking our system. The majority of both houses are against it, the majority of the American people are against it yet he claims political victory. I think he has exposed a big problem with our system.

Do you think it would be better if Iran had a nuke today?

Ask our allies in the region if its a good deal. Ask them if they are now going to have to ramp up their own nuclear programs now.

He is an enemy to our country and an enemy to the world. He really is.
