In reply to the discussion: Iran Backs Away From Key Detail in Nuclear Deal [View all]Abouttime
(675 posts)President Obama and Secretary Kerry are serious about averting another crisis in the Middle East, they will get a deal that will be lasting and fair to the Iranian people. President Obama, unlike his clueless predecessor will long be remembered for his diplomatic acumen, where Bush would overreact Obama remains cool and keeps his long range goals in sight. I think he realizes that in the future Iran must be dealt with in a diplomatic not militaristic context. I think he knows it's inevitable if not already a reality that Iran will someday be a nuclear state and this deal will be setting the ground rules in which Iran will conduct diplomacy with the United States not war.
Obama is a very sharp and forward thinking man, his successor will appreciate the bold moves he has made both in foreign and domestic policy even with a right wing racist congress blocking him at every chance.
I know things seem chaotic now, President Obama was left with one hell of a mess to clean up, but decades from now when history is written I think Obama will be looked upon as a bold leader who took chances at peace when war sabers were being rattled by fools such as bibi and mc cain. Time will show that indeed, he more than deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, he was inspired by it.
