To believe you can trust that agreement is to prove to them that America is weak.
Apparently, some folks do not remember the embassy hostage situation that was an embarrassment to Carter.

Good Post . Carter became feckless and was embarrassed each and every day during the Hostage Crisis .
It led to his reelection loss to Reagan and that is how the system should work .
Ford although a very fine man and a long time hard working Congressman was tagged with for a bad economy and rampent inflation .
Remember the silly " WIN " Buttons he introduced ? Stood for
" Whip Inflation Now " which was about as helpful as a rabbit`s foot !
So Ford got " Whipped " by Carter . When Carter allowed himself to become a victim to the Middle-East powers and the economy and inflation worsened --- remember when the Prime Rate was around 18 to 19% ?
The Voters invited Carter to find other employment and gave the reign to Reagan .
And frankly that is what should happen this time but " this time " may end up being the exception which could easily make HRC a one term president .
