<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nYesterday we were treated to endless commercials from the media for the deal that John Kerry made with the Iranians in an attempt to keep them from becoming a nuclear power. The negotiations broke several deadlines and were about pass another deadline when the announcement was made yesterday morning. The Iranians seemed very pleased with the deal, which makes me wonder about it. From the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n After 18 days of intense and often fractious talks, negotiators in Vienna announced that they had reached an agreement designed to avert the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran and another U.S. military intervention in the Muslim world. The pact included late concessions by the Obama administration granting Tehran the right to object to international inspections of Iranian military sites and left unanswered questions about Iran\u2019s past nuclear weapons activities.<\/p>\n Mr. Obama hailed the deal as a step toward a \u201cmore hopeful world,\u201d and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said it marked \u201ca new chapter\u201d in his nation\u2019s relations with the world. British Prime Minister David Cameron said it \u201cwill help to make our world a safer place.\u201d<\/p>\n Israel said it would try to stop what it called a \u201chistoric surrender.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n My concerns about the deal are myriad. Aside from the fact that Iran can block verification procedures, I wonder why there’s no mention of Americans who re being held for trumped up crimes in Iran. <\/p>\n I also wonder what the Iranians know that we don’t – they were dancing in the streets yesterday and the Iranian negotiators were real proud of themselves. <\/p>\n I remember a vote in the Iranian legislature a few weeks ago in which delegates voted to not allow inspections of their facilities. The vote ended with chants of “Death to America”! So I wonder what the reaction would be if US legislators ended a vote on this agreement with chants of “Death to Iran”?<\/p>\n But we can trust the Iranians, right? I mean, after all it’s not like they supported the anti-American Iraqi al-Sadr with roadside bombs which killed hundreds of Americans during the war in Iraq.<\/p>\n
