If you believe Iran - who sit on one of the largest oil reserves in the world - are going nuclear for peaceful electricity generation, I've got some beautiful tropical property to sell you in Siberia.
Also, if you believe Iran - who is a state sponsor of terrorism around the world, who execute homosexuals, and who subjugate women - deserves respect, you might want to reconsider your position.
They will build a weapon, and they or their surrogates will use it. The only hope between now and then is moderate leadership taking over, and that is highly unlikely given the current theocracy there.
And you would deal with this how?? Hmmm, drop bombs on Iran or Russia...so many choices.
Perhaps we should be focusing more on North Korea who already has a nuclear weapon and whose leader is clearly batshit crazy.
I read today that despite this "deal", the U.S. is beefing up our security and military capabilities in the region. I think that's one of the best things we can do...keep throwing a huge amount of our spending at "defense" and always stay miles ahead of those that might threaten us or our allies. If we're going the diplomatic route now, fine, as long as 2, 5, 10 years down the road we are so far ahead of them militarily that their little nuclear weapons look like pea shooters compared to our offensive and defensive capabilities...alrightee then.
