Right-Wingers' Big Iran Problem: Was Their Only Solution to Go to War?
Last time, they assured us that invading Iraq would cost us practically nothing -- which turned out wrong.
Before too much credibility is lavished upon Republican critics of
the Iran nuclear agreement draft, including all of the assorted would-be
presidential candidates, someone ought to urge them to explain what
they would do instead. And when those critics start blathering, someone
should interrupt to ask whether they are actually talking about a simple
three-letter word: war.
From the beginning, the familiar faces
that favor war over negotiation have prepared their talking points
against any eventual deal. But they were surely surprised by the
comprehensive, positive and detailed character of the framework
announced in Lausanne, Switzerland, by Secretary of State John Kerry.
The tentative nuclear agreement includes significant concessions by Iran
that will achieve the most important metric demanded by the United
States and its diplomatic partners -- namely, to extend the "breakout"
period required for Tehran to develop a single nuclear weapon.
