Fair enough.
Just to clarify the Religious Right wanting to maintain their ability to practice their religion without censure was never for me the issue. The problem was when they dictated and tried to interfere with others whether it be attacks on video games, music, book burning and the like.
I believe people should generally be left alone and allowing one group to dictate to the next is generally a bad idea but worst still, once it has been deemed acceptable when one party has the power it will become justifiable when the opposing party has the power.
Iran was dishonest in what and where they showed UN inspectors according to reports through the Israeli government. Off memory plans that were quite detailed where smuggled out and forwarded to Israel.Of course, I can't prove the accuracy of either the report or the plans BUT I did not believe Iran would seriously entertain the notion of co-operation in any case and so it works for me.
I also agree about US needing to talk to those they can. Of course caveats abound and such but no one should think closing.communication is better. I cringe at some of Trumps gaffes and such BUT his policies regardless all seem to be heading in the right direction.
I honestly think people should come to the realisation with Trump that he won fairly and on his merits. He is unpopular with huge amounts of Americans but also popular with huge amounts of Americans. His personality, style and behaviour may be hard to deal with but his policies are not terrible and generally getting good results.
