So, basically Dershowitz's professional opinion is that the deal with Iran could be successful. Or not. Wow, that's really...insightful.
Obama caved to the Iranians......You can't trust them.............This will come back to bite him in the ass mark my word. Peace thru strength not weakness.
We have stabbed Israel our best ally in the back with this deal........Don't you lefties who are swooning all over this deal know
that Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map. Wake up and smell the roses.
How is it wrong to state the obvious? Why else would we be hearing about this from a trial lawyer with no foreign policy credentials? My stepmother is Jewish by the way.
Yes. We must try to solve things peacefully first. Not everything must lead to war.
Iran wants a nuke Get that through your head.
Iran could have made a bomb with the low grade uranium they already had, why did they never make one?
Can you prove that?
I don't believe Saddam posed the danger to this country that this nut in Iran does.
yet we invaded iraq anyway:roll:
i can't proove it because i don't know how much uranium is needed to make a bomb.
and i think it is safe to say you don't know either.
If your dealing with a sane country that is true....That is not the case with Iran.
Even when dealing with Iran this is true. Their populace is not that crazy, they don't want war and their government is becoming less crazy. This is the prime time to negotiate to avoid war.

The deal is not enough......we are not allowed to inspect many areas where they might be expanding their program........You don't want to negotiate with fanatics who just last week said they wanted to wipe Israel off the map.

So.... we should go along with a relative psycho who is polite and suave, as opposed to the one who at least wears his heart on his sleeve?
Not saying Rouhani is actually a psycho - but the man is working with a different set of assumptions and goals than we are, that people will dismiss as "oh well that's crazy so obviously they don't want that" unless they remember that by doing so they are projecting their own cultural values. For many in the West, negotiations are the assumed norm, and can be an end in and of themselves. For the Iranians, and especially for Rouhani, negotiations are what you do as a delaying tactic while you pursue your policy goals by other means.
Talking is always better than war.
I am leery about the deal, but what do we really have to lose? If we kept the sanction in place and did nothing, Iran will get their bomb. If this deal works and we get the big deal in the future we will be fair better off and might even start to move towards more friendlier relations with Iran.
If it fails, we really are no worse off than we are the day.
This could be the worse deal Obama ever made cow tailing to the Iranians....To make a deal like this you have to trust them.
Better to try negotiations rather than just prepare for war.
Let's say that I'm highly skeptical, however, if we tell countries that they can change their behavior and come to the table and get on a path to normalization, then I think when there are signs that is possible we are obligated to try it. The caveat to that of course being that we need to continue our due diligence and verification so that we are not suckered.
Otherwise, what is the point of telling countries that there is another path if in fact we are unwilling to accept the other path ourselves? Let's give them a little rope to hang themselves with, and then we'll be all the more justified in doing something should this turn out to be a fake.
Hooray but by then they will have the Bomb and if we try to hang them they can kill millions of people and plunge the middle east into nightmare and chaos, meaning that they are effectively lynch-proof.
It's a **** situation either way you look at it.
