The deal is terrible
After the 10 years are up
they could have a nuke istanly

And then we nuke Iran. Khamanei might be dead, and our increased presence on the young and impressionable populace of Iran might have a different attitude to those who made their lives easier (an effect of lifting sanctions).

TrPrado
You are forgetting one thing

Russia and Iran have a military alliance

Actually, I was lightly referring to the growing possibility of a pro-American violent uprising against the current Iranian regime, which the people already view as corrupt and fraudulent. But all the same.

It's clear that Iran wants a war. Just look how close they put their country to our military bases. Next thing you know, they'll invade two of our closest neighboring nations and then try to flip the blame on us when we get nervous about it, those bastards!

Will the college population also rise up and have a bloody revolution here in America, establishing a new regime, just after our government tries to imitate Iranian culture, and this new regime will demand American values among it's people and shout "Death to Iran"? Then we'll outgrow the population and most citizens won't have been alive during our latest revolution and THEN we try to build a nuk-- wait... So this particular parallel doesn't exactly work...

I really don't get it. Why all the paranoia in American media about this. There's now a bunch of countries with nukes of various sizes and America has the most and and the biggest.
If anything this should be used to try to limit the total number of nukes in the world irrespective of who has them.
By opposing this deal it opens the way for anti-US propaganda to remind everyone that nukes have only ever been used twice.

Russia has the most nukes

Yes, but they don't have working firing pins.

America has the most armed nuclear warheads.

By far.

Twitter keeps reminding me of this CONSTANTLY

I think the deal represents a gamble that in a decade Iran won't want nuclear weapons anymore, and will be more moderate. I think it's a fairly sensible bet to take given how progressive Iran's youth seems, and if the bet falls through I'm sure the west can prevent them developing a bomb

+1 kestas. Both as a general rule and because I agree with that assessment down to a T.

And, like a leaf in the wind, kestas is gone again.

KESTASISNOWHERE

"I think it's a fairly sensible bet to take given how progressive Iran's youth seems"
-I tend to agree with you, kestas, but didn't we say this about Egypt as well? And perhaps other nations? So far I feel that the positive influence of the twittering, liberal youth in the Middle East has been correctly acknowledged, but overestimated.

@Zach:

So you would prefer no deal and Iran have nukes in a few months?

Egypt is not Iran. They had free and fair elections, but the only group which was already an organised political entity was the muslim brotherhood, so they easily won (given that amount of time the elections took to plan and run, nobody else really had a chance) and then a lot of people had a problem with the less than moderate/liberal muslim brotherhood; including the military, so that same military re-instated a military dictatorship.

Iran doesn't have a history of military dictators. It has a history of Americanisation particularly under the Shah, but continuing under the current Theocracy. Iranian people typically don't like their government (like most people really, the longer a democratic government remains in power the less popular it gets - and Iran's Theocracy has been in power for some time now...) So when the government said 'Iraq is the enemy' the Iranians like Iraqis, now that they are saying Iraq is a friend, the Iranian people are rather skeptical... (Based on personal anecdotes from Iranians i've met)

Yes both Egypt and Iran have fairly moderate and liberal youth (compared to their governments) but that is about all these two countries have in common. (Pakistan and Egypt, on the other hand share being a British colony, the same religion, and a history of very strong military and weak civilian government, and a military alliance with the US...)
