The ongoing controversy over the Iran Nuclear agreement is another example of talking heads who have not read the agreement but have thoughts about it and it’s effectiveness. Lets look at some obvious facts:if Iran wanted to attack Israel, they could have done it anytime. This agreement was not all Obama, there were other countries involved including Russia and China. The terrorists of the world will and can go after any country. The US, Israel, Britain and even China and Russia are not the only targets. Most People including our Congress attempt to make this Agreement more simplistic than it is. The bigger issue is to get some relief for The Iranians who are as ordinary as we are and have suffered the most under the sanctions-these are not the Terrorists. We have to understand that even though the middle east’s population is essentially  related through some ancestry from eons ago and the various sects have different interpretations of the same Bible (Quran-Torah) which is essentially the old testament. As far as the “hostages”, this agreement had to be made in order to begin the talks on release of hostages or prisoners, there has to be a certain amount of normalcy to begin those talks and they cannot be tied to talks about Nuclear issues. There are not now and never will be any guarantees on any deals, agreements or pacts with any country friend or foe, just the hope that calmer heads will prevail if something untoward happens. We must remember that we are not only country who is nervous about Iran but this is the world we live in and if we wanted to end the threat we would have to take out the entire population to be sure we got the bad guys. To make  another point-look what we did to the Native Americans, look at what Britain did to India and Africa and what Russia did to Ukraine. What it comes down to is that we as a Country took the lead and no matter what we are in the process of rebuilding a coalition that was destroyed when we put the Shah in power in the 50’s. Our big money companies and power brokers are as responsible for the Middle East problems as the residents of that area. These are the people who support “their candidates” for office and continue to pull their strings once they are elected. The multibillionaire faction has one purpose and that is to rule the government and do whatever they can to assert their advantage. Our ( the voters) wages pay these big money people indirectly because we buy their products and with those  profits they buy our elected officials and use them against us. There was a 50’s TV show that had a line that went like this” “Remember, there are people who will pat you on the back with one hand and pick your pocket with the other”. This aptly describes many of the people we have elected from local to Federal offices.
