I wonder how they're going to enforce this one.

Beats me.

All I know for sure is that the Right Wingers will spin it as a capitulation on the part of Obama.

What did I tell you?

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) predicted Sunday on CNN that this weekend's nuclear deal with Iran would backfire.

"We have just rewarded very bad and dangerous behavior," he said, saying Iran saw the deal as license to continue to enrich uranium.

"We've given them just enough breathing room -- the one thing that brought them to the table," he said. "We may have just encouraged more violence in the future than we've stopped."

What was suppose to happen, another war? Bring them back into the world of tangled economics and spoil the citizens with Western benefits. The ruling class will lose influence quickly.

Sum?

Another bit of stellar international diplomacy on the part of this administration.

I'm curious why this is would be regarded as a stellar bit of diplomacy. I've honestly not made up my mind about it.

However, it does represent a massive shift in US foreign policy in the region. While I certainly understand the potential value of "engagement", I also see Iran potentially seeing this as a "win" in the use of the type of nuclear blackmail that North Korea is infamous for. Also, in terms of negotiating approach and strategy, I"m wondering why some of our allies had to learn about the deal in the press.
