Making a Deal With the Devil...

Iran deal: The devil is in the details http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/14/politics/iran-nuclear-deal-highlights/index.html

Today's nuclear deal with Iran is going to come back and bite us on the you know what. Although this deal is considered to be a triumphant moment right now will be met with great regret if not in the very near future then in the not so distant future.

Will those who feel great over the Iran deal still feel the same way the moment that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard bring suitcase nukes into the United States and Israel detonating them in New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas and Tel Aviv just to name American and Israeli cities?

Will these same people (I question their collective sanity by the way) still consider today to be a great moment in U.S.-Iranian relations the moment missiles from Iran equipped with nuclear warheads hit Israeli and American cities or even where U.S. troops are stationed regardless of whether it is in the Persian Gulf or elsewhere?

Time and time again Iran has proven to a very untrustworthy nation (that may the nicest thing to say about Iran. I am trying to keep this blog family friendly by the way). From their holding 52 Americans hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for 444 days from November 1979 to January 1981 to the June 1985 TWA hijacking where U.S. Navy Diver Robert Stethem was brutally beaten and executed while 39 Americans were held hostage in Beirut for 17 days. From the kidnapping of Westerners ranging from William Buckley to Terry Anderson to the December 1984 and April 1988 hijackings where demands for 17 prisoners in Kuwait were made. Those same demands were made the kidnappers of Terry Anderson and the other Westerners. From the repeated promises that Iran made to curtail their nuclear program that they no intention of keeping regardless of previous years and today's deal which I have no question Iran will not keep. 

There seems to be one common denominator here. Iran has hated the United States for many decades. That hasn't changed I can tell everyone that much. Although the Iranian government says that they have changed their stance and the Obama Administration believes Iran, let's just use a lyric from the 1996 The Fugees hit Ready or Not:

"Play your enemies like a game of chess..." Today the Iranian government was very successful at doing just that. Now we wait for the impending tragedy that will engulf both the United States and Israel.
