Common sense based on past history strengthens that prediction.

people please stop repeating the 100 Billion figure.
Iran's Central Bank has said Un-Allocated Funds total to 29 Billion.

The U.S Treasury says about 50 Billion. It depends what you write-down.

This is a pretty good lesson in that once the media starts a miss-information piece people just keep repeating it.

Maybe we can make them a deal-lift sanctions if they accept all the "refugees" working their way to Europe.

Oh! Silly ol' us! We thought you were talking about some serious money there for a minute.

Iran's GDP is $406B - or is was until the US kicked in the above mentioned stimulus fund.

Why am I going to stop repeating it? Are you afraid to speak about how bad this deal is? Are you ready to stop being an apologist for Iran? Iran will be $150 billion dollars richer because of the West's weak hearted diplomats. Then when the region becomes even more turmoil, you will blame Israel and the West lol.

You nailed it! I repped your post.

I was going to write about peaceful uses for ICBM's but decided Iran isn't going to use them for transatlantic passenger service.

I repped this post as an excellent out-of-the-box suggestion. Perhaps as I suggested in U.N. Should Provide for Desperate Refugee on Boats and at Chunnel Crossing maybe the U.N. could coordinate the efforts and add to Iranian funding. They're both idealistic organizations.

They hate us for good reasons.

You and Obama believe that The US is the problem. I predict that when the next real strike comes you will say, "America still has not learned one lesson from Vietnam to 9/11 to the financial meltdown", and will blame America for that, too.
Because we are the problem.

For the same reasons that your ancestors came here from a "less-advantaged" region of the world.

But that's irrelevant. Why is it so important that every nation be a facsimile of ours?

Oh, I put that up in jest. Iran isn't stupid enough to take on hundreds of thousands of unskilled, uneducated Muslims trying to escape from other Muslims trying to destroy them. They aren't stupid enough allow their country to be destroyed by uncontrolled, unmonitored immigrants that they can't afford to feed or support.

Iranian leaders go around chanting "Death to America" and call for the genocide of the people of Israel. They don't call for the destruction of their own country. That takes a whole special kind of stupid.
