What is with this guy Obama? It's like he thinks we elected him to reform healthcare and get out of and avoid wars or something.

Few months ago odds were one more war/conflict, maybe two, in our future. Now, perhaps none. Diplomacy first - truly turning the page.

FIXED: first Syria "blunder," now the Iran deal. I don't know how many more historic, peaceful pacts the Obama presidency can withstand

Iran deal: A victory for sanity with potential to usher a great civilization back into community of nations. Hawks will holler. Let them.

(49,952 posts)So I went looking for info on your claim that Putin submitted to the international community. But mostly I found stories of how the US administration submitted to the international community's calls against bombing Syria. And how the anti-war community; both here and abroad pressured the the administration into reversing gears regarding Syria.
Clearly Russia/Putin motives are suspect so one can't applaud their actions. At the same time, the US handling of it was, as Boerhlert calls it, a blunder. Not sure why one would want to celebrate a blunder.
