Here is what the US got... With no deal, which is the alternative to this deal, Iran is within an estimated 12 months, perhaps a bit longer, of obtaining the ability to build a thermonuclear device. That is the option you get, or you take this deal. If you refuse this deal then what is your alternative? Do you want war number 3 in the middle east? Do you want the Israeli government to be our secret agents and to do the bombing? Do you want US ground troops to march on Tehran? Or do you just want to hate Obama enough to see Iran get the bomb?

No deal was going to be 100% of what I want or you want. It is a negotiated agreement. It was entered to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. It was their progress toward that weapon which caused the sanctions to be applied. In exchange for no progress and in fact a decrease in Iran's ability, the world will lift sanctions. There will be inspections and you well know we have plenty of spies human or electronic that will continue to gather information between inspections, as we have been getting information now with NO inspections. If we reject this negotiation when every other involved in the negotiation nation accepts it is that because we are "tough" or because we are foolish? We negotiated with the USSR to reduce bombs, and reduced ours with limited inspections. I think that was Mr. Reagan?

If this deal postpones the development of nuclear weapons in Iran by 10 or 20 years, that is a very successful outcome. When Iran gets a bomb, so will the Saudis. This gives time for the government of Iran to mature. We can only hope that it does not become radicalized as have so many others in that region.
