Kerry: Only Alternative To Iran Deal Would Be War.

http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/1.669728


Perfectly stated Mr Secretary. You summed it up.
That deal is not only good. It is vital. Because in the worst case ( Congress Rejection) all GOP and RW Jewish lobbies would bplace. .all in line until a new, even worse than Irak war was, Middle East global slaughter would be set in place.

On behalf of world peace, #SupportIranDeal.

How did we go to Agreement or War in so few steps? Very undiplomatic, even if the intention is better than the Iraq Lie to War approach.

if this agreement falls apart, Iran will accelerate, or at bare minimum, maintain their nuclear development.

there will be no more diplomatic efforts to curtail it,

so it will come down eventually to letting them have the bomb vs taking military action to prevent it

interest in actually building one until we actually wrecked every state in the region on the list of countries that Israel and KSA dislike.

There is no reason to conclude that Iran is any less rational than the other de facto nuclear powers in the region.
