Here's one fact you should know about the deal that was thrown in the trash. It is one of the primary reasons the Senate would not support the deal. -------------------------------------------------------- Prospect of Self-Inspections by Iran Feeds Opposition to Nuclear Deal By David E. Sanger Aug. 21, 2015 To the most strident opponents of President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, the suspicious behavior at a military base about 12 miles southeast of Tehran has become a rallying call to defeat the accord, especially as it now appears that Iranian officials may be allowed to take their own environmental samples at the site and turn them over to inspectors. ... https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/22/world/middleeast/prospect-of-self-inspections-by-iran-feeds-opposition-to-nuclear-deal.html

<<<<<I'm not impressed by anything anyone, right or left, says here.>>>> So okay, but then shouldn't you trust the 7 countries that participated in it and worked tirelessly to create an agreement that made the world a safer place? ..........All those experts weren't in it to make the world more dangerous and just hand money back to Iran because they thought that was the right thing to do. ..........I mean how much can Trump possible know about the Agreement - he didn't even know what his own lawyer Cohen was doing even though their offices were next to each others in Trump Tower.

I just don't see how anyone posting here can have any kind of rational opinion on the Iran deal. There exist people who understand the deal and the scenario. Folks posting here gather information from a lot of sources. I would think that anyone posting here would be competent to relay to us any good reason to abrogate the deal that they had come across, which is what I was looking for. It's not necessary to have profound knowledge of the innards of the matter to report what one has heard. The default on any matter is the status quo. Which is why rational people leave things alone until and unless they have thought through the change and the proposed change appears favorable. Have you heard any rationale that proponents of exiting have offered that sounds plausible? As for the complexity and arcane quality of the issue, for sure. But that's true of much if not most of the discussion hereabouts. I wouldn't single this one out.
