This guy is one of the smartest people I have ever seen on TV. He told the House of Commons all about the agreement, what it entails, what it expects of Iran, what we give Iran, and did it in such a way that even a dummy like me understood it.
The opposing parties - labor, liberal, etc., all favored the agreement and only wished that it succeed and that tight intrusive inspections must be made. Then, they said, what about Netanyahu. Hague said he already contacted him and told him that ANY INTERFERENCE with Iran's compliance with the agreement would not be tolerated by anyone - anywhere.
He's proud of the agreement. What a great ally he is. He was one of the negotiators. Please watch the link. I was blown away by this guy.

I just happened to think about Dennis Rodman telling Obama to call Kim Jung IL. You know, Korea is the 3rd of the Axis of Evil, as Bush called Iraq, Iran and Korea. Something could happen now.
It was said by Amb. Hill on some program that John Kerry was sent, while still a Senator, to Iran to meet the new president. He told Obama that his reception was very encouraging, and this BEFORE he was approved for SS. Wonder why? Six countries are involved. Congress should not draw up more sanctions to ruin the agreement or there'll be hell to pay from our allies...

I think the other countries might get rough too.
I wonder how many of these sanction happy people are making selling weapons to Israel that if they all made nice wouldn't be needed.
Miracles do happen. There are people in Israel who want peace but we never hear from them...
elleng, I listened to the whole program, couldn't turn it off.
