Worse than we could have imagined
Who would have imagined we would be giving up the conventional arms and ballistic missile embargoes on Iran? In nuclear negotiations?

I
am disgusted with Charles Krauthammer Monday night quarterbacking,
after the fact? Where was all his political wisdom when he advised
Ronald Ragan, back in the day? Or his political advice to the Washington
DC establishment all these past years on this country's problems with
the Middle East population, and elsewhere.
No! This Barack Obama nuclear deal is a done deal, and he knows it. I think this is just some more of Charles Krauthammer playing around with his American aristocrats friends like always, and just putting on the same old Northeastern elitist clue Show for the Show sake. Like he has been doing for the sake of his media career on television.
And frankly I don't seem to give a damn what Charles Krauthammer says about anything anymore about what he likes or don’t like in our country. Because what he says is not like what the President of the United States says, or from what the readers are saying, you know what I mean.
And just how important is Krauthammer political advice to the American people?
But I truly hope what Barack Obama did doesn't kill a lot of the American people population who will become naked to Iran's social craziness in the years to come.

Wow,
106 more posts and it will be 5,000. I wonder how many of these agree
with you, Dr. Krauthammer? Let me see. What's the "Most Liked" list
like?

Krauthammer's
objections have at bottom nothing to do with this deal. His phrase, "in
order to rob this deal of, at least, its domestic legitimacy" contains
the core idea, which is to rob President Obama of his legitimacy, just
as the Republican chattering class has been attempting to do ever since
the 2008 election. No credible alternative to the agreement has been
offered, unless you consider war a credible alternative.

I
found it extremely disturbing to see the representatives of the Western
powers laughing and joking with the representative of a country that
openly sponsors world wide terror, oppresses women, hangs gays and calls
for the destruction of a member of the UN (Israel). And now all the
Europeans will be in a race to see who can make the best deals with
them. Why are the woman's and Gay rights groups strangely silent?

Obama
and Kerry were like lambs to slaughter in these negotiations. Two
clueless fools who have never held a real job or even been mildly
effective in the jobs they were handed feeding at the public trough.
Coming home and waving paper like Neville Chamberlain, while leaving
four Americans in captivity behind, was gutless and adds one more item
to the increasingly shameful legacy of Obama's administration. This
agreement is treasonous and when Iran fires its first nuke (which it
will) the blood will be on the hands of Obama and Kerry.

Do
you propose going to war with Iran then? Have you volunteered to serve
in our armed services in support of such a war? The war in Iraq enabled
ISIS. What do you think would come of war with Iran? And do you think
that Russia would sit on its metaphoric thumbs while we invaded a
country that borders directly on areas it considers its sphere of
influence? Just how much bloodshed do you want?

Uh oh...Strawman alert.
Why is it that pro-agreement types believe the only alternative to this agreement is a US invasion? As for Russia's metaphoric thumbs, how about those of Saudi Arabia and Egypt? This agreement is the start of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. As an alternative, how about we just walk away from the table and tighten the econonmic screws? Since you seem to consider it important to trace issues to their origins (see ISIS comment), I would note the sanctions brought Iran to the table in the first place.
I agree (sort of) with your point about the origin of ISIS, but the surge brought Iraq under control. (Just ask Joseph Biden.) With the President's failure to get a Status of Forces agreement - did he really try any more than Bush tried to negotiate a settlement in Saddam's Iraq? - this has been Obama's issue for some time.
I am in my late 50s and have regretted nothing more in my political expression than voting for Obama. I cannot understand how rational people can look at this agreement and believe it is in our interests and in those of the world.
