As far as the second part of your question, I would agree with ongoing sanctions toward a country that appears intent on destroying mine. It's much too complicated to go into here, but I don't know how one can come to any kind of agreement with an enemy like Iran. |

I look at it differently. I see the President as a leader. Yes, he represents the American people, but not in such a direct way as our Congressmen/women are elected to do so. When I have an issue or point of view that I want to be heard, I generally contact my Congressperson because they are supposed to be our voice, so to speak. A good leader does not make difficult decisions without input from others, especially when those "others" can be severely affected.

I agree - this has certainly been a huge issue in moving forward with anything in this country. Not denying that! But again, JMHO, that is where a good leader can make a real difference because good leaders bring people together and make that a priority from the start. We have not had that for quite some time now.

By actions he is not representing we the people as he continues to by pass the constitution. The will of the people has been over whelming to support the Canadian pipeline.....so how is doing for them? The will of the people was against the ACA....it got passed anyway. Just to name a couple. |

The King of Jordan took the bull by the horns and went after the radicals within 24 hours of saying he would do so. Now the other Arab countries are coming together to do the same. And it is not taking them years to figure out what to do. Israel will soon be going off on their own without waiting for us any longer. Lead, follow or get out of the way......no danger that we will lead or follow so.....excuse us as we get out of the way of those commited to making something happen. |

The first course should be reimposition and strengthening of sanctions. That’s why the Iranians are at the table in the first place. Iran is a radical Islamic state. The ONLY thing that will keep them at bay is the threat of force. Read the history and biography of the Prophet if that’s not clear … the basic faith is imperialistic and expansion oriented which means killing infidels as needed until worldwide peace is obtained etc. By the way, should that occur, and should you survive the jihad, that means you get to wear a burqa. I don’t think Iran would be dumb enough to start a war with the US and Israel. Assuming courage and leadership at the top by the Commander in Chief (which is a shaky assumption I admit), they know they would lose and thus be deterred. They know Israel would strike so let’s express our appreciation that Bibi was reelected. Regarding war, if it did come to that theoretically, would you prefer to fight an Iran without nukes, or wait until they have them? You truly don’t seem to understand the most concerning aspect of this … and have never really addressed it even though I’ve posited it to you several times. If Iran gets a nuke they WILL use it at some point against the US … ie nuclear jihad. The most likely method of attack is an ICBM exploded high in the atmosphere above the Midwest to produce an EMP effect which would wipe out most electrical service across the country. In short, one explosion and you / me / all of us revert to a 19th century life cycle for 6 months to a year. Let’s hope you are a 2nd amendment supporter because you’ll need it until the lights come back on. Just out of curiosity, do you truly not understand the risk of nuclear jihad, or would you just prefer to ignore it and hope the threat goes away?? |

Gosh, these are word for word the exact same arguments for going to war with Iraq. No need to write a new column, just rehash the old ones from 2002/2003. Without the other superpowers agreeing, the US cannot impose sanctions on Iran on its own. Be afraid, be very afraid. Sadam Hussein is loading up his balsam aircraft with nuclear weapons and heading to the US. Now where did he hide those pesky WMD's? |

It sounds like the president will just keep kicking the can down the road until he can turn over the reins to President Ted Cruz. |

I think an immediate problem is you truly don’t understand the nature of the Iranian hardliners, their whole apocalyptic views about the 12th Imam nor, most especially, the impact of a single EMP burst. This article talks about an EMP attack on Israel but is applicable to the US An electromagnetic pulse attack -- the 'other' Iranian nuclear threat | The Times of Israel Now, tell us all again why you, when push comes to shove, are ok with allowing the Iranians to get a nuke?? |

If you do not view or undserstand the seriousness of the Iran threat then you are either: >naieve >don't care as long as it is OK with Obama >so afraid the only play left is to continually mock everybody and everything they say. >Totally and completely unable, for what ever reason, able to discuss anything and then counterpoint with antagonism. >I will remain polite and stop there. |

You most certainly are not the ONLY veteran on this or any other forum.
It is just too bad you choose to brag about being a Viet Nam vet in a venue where you poison everything anybody has to say.....I know too many Nam vets and let me say, based on your behavior on this forum you are truly in a class by yourself. Congratulations. |

By the way, we are not witnessing a "negotiation" but rather nothing more than a slow motion capitulation dressed up with only the lightest touch of lipstick |
