Iran Nuclear Pact


I would hope and expect to see congress take a critical look at the Iran nuclear agreement before voting to accept or reject the pact. What I also expect, but hope not to see, is an irrational and politically based attack on the agreement by right of center political candidates jockeying for position and political points.
No agreement is perfect especially when disparate nations such as Russia, China and the U.S. attempt to reach any accord.
We can expect Mr. Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, to cry foul like a wounded banshee but that noise is pro forma and should be ignored by congress and the American public.
In my personal opinion this imperfect agreement is much preferable to the alternative of a military solution that may have unknown consequences in the Middle East and beyond.
