...your words, karynnj.
Exactly right. So many are not paying attention to the importance of Kerry's diplomatic efforts. He's trying to avoid a WAR. A war that likely involves countries with nuclear capability.This is CRITICALLY important.
I saw someone on Twitter yesterday that actually questioned the newsworthiness of reporting President Obama's teleconference with the US negotiating team, saying that businesses use that technology all the time so why is this 'news'! He totally missed the point. The newsworthiness was not in the technology...it was with the seriousness of diplomatic work to prevent a future nuclear war. Such an effort...Kerry's effort.. should be applauded!

The Iranians will drag this out, unless the offer starts contracting with time Freelancer Jul 2015 #8

There is little reason for them to do so karynnj Jul 2015 #10

It's true that the Iranians don't know who they'll be dealing with in 16 months, but neither do we. Freelancer Jul 2015 #13
