After comments and hateful rhetoric over the years by Ahmadinejad I can understand why Israel would be upset by ANY deal with Iran.
But also don't forget, Bibi has to appease his domestic hardliners as well, he has less to lose by being hardline over the deal than accepting it within the context of Israeli domestic politics.
All in all... I'm not an expert on what the full implications are of this deal because well it's hard to say really...
These kinds of things are never clear in how they end and the fact so many turned their nose up instantly proves it's more to do with Obama than the deal itself...
Maybe it'll work... maybe it won't but all I do know is that at least it's SOMETHING!
After years of no movement at all we've finally got something and ultimately neither the Bush or Obama administrations saw value in military action because of how costly, devastating and long term implications it entailed it's not as if that was going to change anytime soon anyway.
At the very least, we should get an accurate picture of what point in the process they are at. and finally be able to settle the question "how close are they to a nuke" to rest.
That's so awesome that your avatar is Sisko.
