Analysis: Iran deal leaves Israel few options

Exactly - much better to try and fail, than to not have tried at all. Yup ... ;) There might be some validity to that as a premise - but it ain't an ironclad case either. Without know exactly what happened it's hard to say whether Dinner-jacket was the real problem ... or whether it was the...

Sure, no problem ... but I have to warn you, it might not produce the result that you would be seeking at that time.

None ... That's probably true - and if it it, then the question becomes: What can be done to ensure the country doesn't, and what is to be avoided that increases their motivation to do so ? I would suggest that no dialog whatsoever and/or outright belligerence might be counter-productive. I...

Godwin achieved ... and only 15 posts in ... outstanding ! While I appreciate your attempt at analogy, it isn't necessarily analogous, nor are the implied conclusions that flow from it necessarily correct. Here's another take on Chamberlain's actions - and the actual strategy behind it - by...

Even an incompetent fool can do something right by accident on occassion ... Plenty could go wrong ... but for your kids sakes hope that it doesn't ...

A pragmatist ... ;)

No maybe - there is a multi-lateral interim agreement ... Whether Iran will comply with it, of course, remains to be seen ... ;) Absolutely ... True ... but I would say, in this case, that some thing is better than no thing ... And any improvement - however small - is better than no improvement

Here's another thing - and one should remember this single fact very well and never, ever forget it: In 8 years, George W. Bush got absolutely nothing from Iran on the nuclear program ... other than allowing a vast increase in Iran's nuclear capability. He wasn't even talking to them ... #failure

Go spend some time in the Twitter universe ... and have a look at what was being said ... and note: I said Republicans ... not Republican politicians ... BTW: You don't consider Graham or Cornyn comments denouncements ? Click on the Ari's Twitter images in the Buzzfeed article and get on the...
