    Trust Iran to do what? They have not had the materials to develop a nuclear weapon, or they would have done so except that they signed the NPT in 1970 and every Supreme Leader has decreed they cannot do that. Every nation has an inalienable right to national security and secrets.

    How about putting video cams in every U.S. nuclear facility for the world to see?

    Oooops,

    Ob and Kerry and the presidential RasPutin, Valerie Jarrett, [born in Iran, could speak Persian,]

    arent getting their global accolades for having brought

    "Peace For Our Time!"

    Gosh! THAT'S strange!

    Neville Chamberlain got his at Munich in 1938 when he & France so shamefully appeased Hitler's rank aggression in Czech!

    So now Ob & Co have to backtrack and now try to offer sweeteners & excuses to Congress,

    and scurry to israel & Saudi and the rest of the Gulf Arabs,

    and see if they'l fall for the ruse of getting more n more US conventional weapons,

    as if they could somehow outweigh the nukes Iran already has.

    I doubt anyone "trusts Iran" the way they "trust" friends or family. Think of it as giving Iran the chance to do the right thing.

    Iran isn't the problem when it comes to trust.

    The US is so aggressive the rest of us have lost the ability to trust at all.

    No, but diplomacy (with the threat of sanctions as leverage) is better than war, as the president recently said:

    “Some of the same politicians and pundits that are so quick to reject the possibility of a diplomatic solution to Iran's nuclear program are the same folks who were so quick to go to war in Iraq and said it would take a few months,” he said. “We know the consequences of that choice, and what it cost us in blood and treasure. So I believe there's a smarter, more responsible way to protect our national security.”

    I really like that guy Obama. Whoever wins in 2016 will not be as smart.

    Absolutely not.

    But not trusting someone shouldn't require keeping a decades old stalemate going indefinitely.

    No. But then we shouldn't trust a leadership who caves in all the time either.

    Yes we should always trust countries whose leaders lead public chants of death to America.

  • 6 years ago

    No. But this Administration is too naive and running on wishful thinking to understand that.

    Sure...Obama thinks we're all friends now! And we all know he would never lie or do anything that risks national security!
