Deal reached with Iran on Nuclear program

Also the history and rhetoric of a country has to come into play. I am not open to Iran having nuclear tech but I would be open to Brazil or Singapore (for example) having it.

I get where you are coming from but we signed a treaty and according to the constitution treaties are the supreme law of the land. If Iran wants peaceful nuclear power we are bound by our own laws and international laws to allow them to develop it. However, we do have every right to demand transparency and they are responsible to prove that it is indeed peaceful.
 
The flip side is the India Pakistan situation. We were unable to get them on board with the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty and they both developed Nuclear weapons. :(

Iran's nuclear facilities are subject to daily inspections. And the agreement is only valid for 6 months with the understanding they'll get together to negotiate a larger settlement. If neither side likes how it went, they can walk away and go back to square one.

All for loosening up a few billion in frozen assets. Very little to bitch about here.
 
maybe I should have said "//// thread ////" when I said how good this thread was going. . . . before we went all Jeffrey Daumer on JazzFanzz.
