The Right is tearing this Iran deal apart. The Left defends the attempt to progress diplomatic relations with Iran and prevent the development of Nuclear weapons.
Now that the sanctions have been lifted and Iran has access to $100 Billion there is a media uproar. The squakers are inaccurately depicting the situation as us paying Iran which will in turn funds terrorism. The reality is that the money is from oil sales between Iran and countries like China, India, S. Korea, and Turkey... The sanctions blocked Iran's access to their own money gained from sales of their products to other countries... Lets be clear about that.
I find the deal easy to critique as there are many many elements, however, with two very opposing positions it is impossible to get EVERYTHING that we want. I believe the administration attempted to get as much as they could with the underlying goal of hindering Iran's nuclear development. Part of this attempt towards diplomacy and a working relationship is to stop holding Iran's money and trust that they are smart with how they spend it. With any deal we have to give to get and there has to be a show of respect and trust to build a relationship. Also noteworthy is that the deal wasn't just between the US and Iran, although we did work in some additional specific terms, the deal was a joint effort with the US, UK, Russia, France, China, and Germany. With that said, I pose the following questions:
To the Right: With your critical view of the deal, how would you propose to handle the situation with Iran. IE. Do you chip away in attempt to build a bridge to diplomatic relations or do you take an absolutist approach, which I fear would lead to war or growing hostility from a very dangerous potential enemy?? If you prefer the later, please explain why?
To the Left: How do you defend the actions taken by our administration and do you feel good about the terms of the Iran deal?
PLEASE POST SOLUTIONS AND IDEAS... ALL I HEAR IS PARTISAN CRITIQUES AND IT'S GETTING OLD. I'M NOT INTERESTED IN STARTING A COMPLAINT FORUM. IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING THEN PROPOSE A BETTER SOLUTION.
