Hell, we already kill people without a hearing, without proof, without a court of law. We call them drone attacks.

I would take Trump any day of the week over him. Trump is an inept goofball, but Cruz is a hardcore end-times Conservative who would love nothing other than to start launching nukes so that Jesus can come sooner.

He's literally that guy on The Dead Zone.

in politics and government are not offering millions of dollars to kill people over speeches/books that don't incite to violence (like Satanic Verses).

And the drones only kill terrorists, not intentionally innocent people.

And have you been sticking your head in the desert sand, ignoring the many, MANY civilians that we (belatedly) admit to having done in in drone strikes?

Much like our drone policy.

was supposed to strengthen non-theocratic elements in Iran....

Once they see falling support, especially among the youth, they get scared, and then, they act out in crazy ways. Just like our Tea Baggers.

collecting their social security checks and putting a bounty on anyone's head.

and making "coming soon" predictions hardly makes you seem like you really give a shit about telling the truth about this. Religious freaks in Iran are doing this NOW, with REAL MONEY....making comparisons to American teabaggers - whom I loathe - is dishonest and just looks like deflection bullshit.

And I wont let even one story pass where I'll allow it anymore without jumping in. Enough of this bullshit.

"Just because Iranian hardliners chant "Death to America" does not mean that that's what all Iranians believe. In fact, it's those...

(APPLAUSE)

In fact, it's those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo. It's those hardliners chanting "Death to America" who have been most opposed to the deal. They're making common cause with the Republican Caucus.

(APPLAUSE)

The majority of the Iranian people have powerful incentives to urge their government to move in a different, less provocative direction, incentives that are strengthened by this deal. We should offer them that chance. We should give them the opportunity."

Which they per Netanyahu himself were about 3 months from doing. Now, they are a year and subject to intense monitoring.

Unless what you really preferred was a war with them, it is obvious that we .. and Israel .. are better off with it.

As people pointed out, the Iran deal is far more extensive and detailed. The NK agreement had no real monitoring. The Iranian deal included monitoring the entire process from mining uranium on. Secretary Moniz was an MIT professor of nuclear physics. That he and Kerry, a long time friend, worked hand in hand to craft this made it far more comprehensive than expected.

You can find quotes that Israel believes Iran will abide by the agreement at least for a decade. It seems their opposition is based on Iran getting more power in the region.

Our government thought they were pursuing nukes so we installed sanctions until an agreement was worked out to curb that possibility. Wasn't that the goal?

And we knew that from the start. The Saudis & others said from the start that they would "have" to arm themselves. We'll see if they're serious. And Iran still never admitted that they even had a weapons program.
I doubt they will go more than a year or two at the most before they get caught cheating.

Hopefully I'm wrong, that would be fine.

I don't see how the deal makes them more likely to get nukes. Worst case scenario I see is that they cheat, and we're back to square one. If you assume whatever deal they make isn't going to work, you are pretty much just left with pre-emptive war.

comparative moderates.

Regardless, I don't appreciate them making death threats to any of my fellow-citizens (or anyone if it comes to that).
