Issue 682 Iran and Nukes September 21, 2015

The Iran nuke deal that is being pushed by the current administration is in my opinion a bad idea.  Here is why.

Why it is a bad idea:  The goal of the deal is to make sure that Iran does not produce nuclear weapons to attack its neighbors like Israel or its Sunni Muslim neighbors like Saudi Arabia.  But like most deal with this nation in the past, the deal is an effort to stall for time.  Iran under the Ayatollahs has a history of taking advantage of the United States and is set to get money out of this deal as well as technological knowledge to their benefit.  In the mean time they can comply very easily with the deal for they never needed to refine the nuclear material themselves, as they can buy already refined or partially refined material, or use other forms of material that can be used to make the bomb.

Additionally, the current President of Iran is not the man he appears to be.  Presidents in Iran are selected by the Ayatollahs for being acceptable religiously, and in this case for wanting Israel dead.  Yes that is right, a radical Muslim cleric, the one with the real power in Iran, chose the current president of Iran to be 1 of 6 potential presidents.  The current Iranian leader is a former member of their security council, which is responsible for designing plans to remove Israel off the map, countering U.S. forces and strengthening Iran's control of the region.  Iran's current President is not a man of peace.  He is a man chosen for his appeal to western policy makers to fool them into lowering their guard.

Conclusion:  This deal is not going to work.  Iran is run by radical Muslims from the Iranian revolution.  This theocracy wants all non-Shiite Muslims dead.  What should be done is the continuing of pressure via sanctions until the nuclear facilities are dismantled and replaced.  Also, the only technology Iran should get is nuclear teach that cannot result in a bomb, and they should not get any money from the United States.  Simple, clean cut, effective.  Not some pandering policy which is hoping that Iran is sincere.
