also you're assuming because they follow islam, they're not rational actors, which just hasn't been the case, even though their agenda definitely doesn't match our own.

it's neo-cold war paranoia. I'm not suggesting we trust them without verification or that this is guaranteed to work. but replace iran with blacks in your last post, and think about how small minded it would be.

what's the other option? let them continue to develop nukes unchecked? invade them? (i hope you're ready to serve, cause we'd probably be looking at a draft). close your eyes and hope everything works out? I mean, if there's an alternate path to engagement of some kind, i'd love to hear it.

Totally unconcerned with different system of beliefs as there are many nations on this planet different from us and we coexist nicely. Concerned only with their track record, actions and Promises...(like Death to America like being chanted on Parliament floor during Peace and Nuclear talks)....lol
Iranian parliament chants ‘Death to America’
Check out Jihadism......You just get dead. THEY get the Virgins. Oh yea, this is from a people who routinely strap bombs to woman and children to kill hundreds of innocents to advance their peace loving Muslim message.
What does this PC racist BS have to do with anything?
What would I do?....doesn't matter. Throwing our hands in the air giving up is certainly not the answer. Obama made an amazing deal....if your Iranian.
BTW....these are the same Peace Loving rational acting Muslims that STILL hold 4 American hostages?
