The flaw in that logic is that it's not a choice the people get to make.Yes, I do think it is STILL the better, and smarter OPTION.Well, I think Iran will probably try to get nukes, whether a deal is made or not. If we were them, we would do the same and to deny that is just ridiculous....imho.
Soooo, this being my presumption that Iran is going to try to get nukes, then I would rather have us in on a deal that allows inspectors and others to make certain they are not doing something not in the agreement that can lead to that.
And if Iran just continues with a covert plan to build nuclear weapons, I would rather us have the ability to be within their Nation covertly snooping, and I would rather have sanctions lifted and covert agents of ours working within those private companies selling to them, getting us as much info as possible on any covert operations going on in Iran....
They hide things, they lie, and they do not cooperate with inspectors. As a matter of fact, they are STILL uncooperative. Still think it's a good idea?

No it is not. Tougher sanctions are the smarter option. When the people have to choose between food and nuclear energy, they will choose food.
Sanctions don't work.
Despite the full force of sanctions, Iran was still enriching Uranium.
Sanctions do work, especially when you can get everyone on board. If sanctions did NOT work, we would not bother with them and would have abandoned them long ago.
