Iran Agreement Was Israel's Chill Pill

There used to be a time in America where we engaged in politics at home and diplomacy abroad. Now everything is politics.


       Had Benghazi happened in the 70's, we would have rallied together to oppose whoever dared kill 4 Americans. Now it seems that we accuse one another for it ever happening.

News flash: There are people out there that hate us. Hatred is not a religion or a race, it is simply an evil spirit that rears its ugly head in the actions of Bin Laden today and James Holmes tomorrow.

Iran is full of people with such hatred and a growing technology to potentially make a nuclear expression of said hatred. The beauty of American capitalism is that while it probably causes the hatred that we experience it also allows us to strangle the economic life out of any country that threatens the safety of America and it's allies. We have strangled the economic life out of Iran and they came begging for an opportunity to relieve some pressure.

Are they playing games to buy time? Who knows and who cares. The debate on this issue is as silly to me as the healthcare debate. We can return to the status quo let them proceed towards a nuclear weapon, or we can use the sanctions to give ourselves an opportunity to monitor the nuclear program of a country who does not have any duty to allow such monitoring. My point is simple. Imagine the alternative that really exists. Even if we sanction them to the point of near economic ruin will the end game be to try genocide via economic sanctions. At some point you will have to get them to allow you to dismantle and monitor, and you will need this cooperation for the rest of time.  Sanctions won't help us to trust them  Access to verification will.

War is simply not the kind of thing you can develop iron-clad assurances with because every nation has the duty to establish security for themselves. If for any reason Israel escalates their aggression towards Iran, it will be Iran's civic duty to escalate their nuclear program for the sake of their nation and their future. If you are not listening closely, Israel is still talking with aggression toward Iran even while we work to establish security in the region. Put the sanctions back in place as they were and watch how quickly Israel moves to eliminate the nuclear threat from Iran. If we can achieve nothing more than giving Israel a chill pill we succeed with this one.
