(1,527 posts)The media is failing to point out that the alternative to this agreement is war.
We've become a proxy for Israel. Iran is the last middle eastern power standing. If we take the Iranians out there's no one left for Israel to worry about. And that, of course, is what Netenyahu wants.
Look at the map. Syria is not even a functioning state. Egypt? No, they've been crushed by Israel too many times to try again. The Saudis? Powerful economically but not militarily.
We will show ourselves for true fools if we allow Israel to goad us into war. Unfortunately, many of these Republican candidates are fools. Witness the words of Walker and Ted "I didn't vote for him" Cruz...
