14. So much anger over lack of war
Mon Nov 25, 2013, 12:25 PM
Nov 2013

Amazing how crazy angry certain factions are that war MAY have been averted. It's not even a guarantee as it requires a lot of follow through with Iran and the international community. President Obama hasn't even taken military intervention off the table, yet certain people are practically foaming at the mouth. A case of being able to tell the President has taken the right approach just by the type of reaction it's caused. When the leaders of one of the most oppressive nations in the world, Israel's war hungry leadership, and our right wing religious nuts are all this upset, it tells me something good has happened. I have no idea if the deal will work out in the long run, but I'm glad that his administration has not caved into the demands of these powerful lobbies in this case. The U.S. shouldn't be anybody's lap dog, no matter how much money they throw at our political system.
