Especially considering that the American people, by a margin of 2:1, wanted a deal instead of a war. I think if the Republicans try to screw this up, many Americans will be very disappointed in them. And if they actually precipitate a war with Iran, perhaps when it is over, there can be war crimes trials. I've been waiting for those, as I know many of you have. I'm also waiting for the treason charges to be brought against the 47 Republicans, including my own state's Sen. Cory Gardner.

Now, all we have to do is try and stop Obama from going ahead with this new Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and he can actually leave office with both domestic and foreign policy legacies very positive.
