>> I don't condemn that BLM movement either; does that make me complicit in violence? You weren't in a position of power. SO, I wouldn't blame you personally. Obama stoked the fire. Over and over again. From the Henry Louis Gates affair until the mess of racial tension he left behind. Which, BTW, Trump is doing a lot to resolve. >> What was stupid, though, was Trump canceling the agreement. Everyone who knows anything (e.g., Gates) will tell you the deal was idiocy. It was apparent to Americans watching from afar that Obama was doing something really stupid, and that it would have to be killed by a successor president. Now, some say, "It was a terrible mistake, but given it is made we should keep it." (Again, Gates but I think Rice agrees with him). That was how it used to be. But no agreement that gives Iran any "right" to build nuclear weapons at a near-term future date can be allowed to stand. Of course, Israel will never permit it as long Netanyahu is in office. There will be more Stuxnets, even people entering facilities and destroying them, probably leading to an all-out war in the Middle East. But it is far better to try to stop it now. I'm just pleased we have an adult driving the car in the US now. I hope and expect we are jointly planning to take out Iran's partially developed capability at this time.
