Iran may now agree to this but they will renege in time. We will probably have to do this several times to make it stick. But at least they are making concessions now, and we need that before the midterms.
They know that too which is why they will probably renege on it come late summer/early fall. They need the GOP to lose come November.

If (excuse me, when) Iran reneges on the deal, I greatly hope Trump immediately pounds them with more than they thought we ever had available to pound them with, just as he's been saying. And this, no matter what the rest of the Middle East has been asking.

Agreed. It's easy being on the sidelines and asking the U.S. to stand down so as to avoid a wider war, but we are the ones tasked with stopping them.
I was watching a series on the History Channel yesterday about WWI and II. Doing what the peaceniks are demanding was exactly what allow Hitler to rise like he did. I knew that but it was good to be reminded.

Right! It's the same mistake Neville Chamberlain made -- except that Chamberlain learned from his mistake, went to Churchill hat in hand and was allowed back into the administration, where he worked himself literally to death to help Churchill.

Yep. But we seem incapable of learning from history. With either want endless wars for no reason, ones that do not involve us while invoking Hitler or we want no wars at all when our interests ad our security are involved. Happy medium guys!
