Salvaging the Iran Nuclear Fuel Deal:
Accept Iran’s Counter-offer

So the Iranians have — quite rightly, IMHO — refused the nuclear deal according to which they were to ship out their low-enriched uranium to countries that have regularly cheated on every single nuclear contract with Iran, and then sit on their hands, hoping that one day the stuff will be eventually returned in the form of nuclear fuel for a medical research reactor. The Iranians would have been utterly stupid to have accepted such an arrangement, because of course there was no guarantee at all that Iran would ever get any reactor fuel out of it — just as Iran has not received an ounce of enriched uranium from the French enrichment facility in which it invested a billion of dollars.

When the Iranians didn’t accept this arrangement, the opponents of the deal in the West (who naturally don’t want to see any peaceful resolution of the standoff with Iran) were naturally quick to declare the negotiations at an end and Obama’s approach to Iran as a failure.

But it wasn’t. Iran has made a logical counter-offer: it offered to ship out its enriched uranium for a SIMULTANEOUS exchange of nuclear reactor fuel for their low-enriched uranium.

The proponents of the deal in the West said that the original offer was a good deal because it amounted to a de facto recognition of Iran’s right to enrich uranium (is it?) whilst also removing the low-enriched uranium that “could be” used to make bombs.

The Iranian counter-offer still provides the same benefits to both sides, and should therefore be accepted by the West . . . if they were negotiating in good faith to start with. Which they weren’t. They never planned on returning Iran’s uranium in the form of nuclear fuel, and that’s why THEY WON’T EVEN CONSIDER IRAN’S COUNTER-OFFER?
OBAMA SHOULD FOLLOW THE INTEREST ORF AMERICANS NOT
THE ZIONIST’S INTEREST. HE MUST STOP BEING A ZIONIST PUPPET AT ONCE.

As jesus had said, I came to uphold the laws and prophets so does a prez say, I came to uphold the constitution and the laws.
When the warlords say, God bless america, this derives from the bible. And don’t vast number of christians support every US war?
And God bless america means that a prez can do whatever he wants!
I don’t believe, i know that the separation of church and state is a myth and especially when US wages wars.
tnx

Bozh, it’s what America does best. It’s why it spends more on its military than most of the rest of the world combined. It’s why it has missile and military bases spread all over the world and roving navies.

Now it’s into attacking countries for their resources.

America is the country the world should most fear and oppose!

As we all know, wars are initiated by those in power at the time for their own ends, not any philosophy or faith.

As for Iran? Gareths recent reportage has been revealing. It helps in unwinding for us the spin thats being applied to the facts in this matter.
But is anyone here going to hold the media and politicians and office holders to account, or shall we all just talk about it?

So many articles here provoke consternation, or even distress. But where is the active response? (And no, I don’t do anything either – I’m quite comfortable here in my seemingly safe little corner of the world.)

And yet US had waged some 180 wars, interventions, battles. But not one was promised.
So what prezes promise doesn’t happen and what they don’t promise does happen and not a day goes by without US killing people.

All of it commanded by bible, torah, and constitution; the only three holy books that US recognizes. tnx
