“We knocked the USA to the ground and had our foot on its chest, ready to finish the job. Then suddenly we went to the negotiating table, seeking a deal so that the USA could come and put its foot on our chest.” — Nabavian, Member of Parliament

This is noteworthy, as it looks much more as if Trump is the one who is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with these negotiations. Will Trump not end up handing the Islamic Republic a new lease on life, regional hegemony, a new source of income, and a chance to embolden jihadis worldwide by claiming a decisive victory over the Great Satan? We can hope.

America, the land of milk and honey for terrorists. Peace at any cost is no peace at all.

America isn’t a melting pot anymore. It’s a seething cauldron of criminals.

There is no such thing as a deal with evil. Any compromise with evil is a victory for evil. Sooner or later Americans will pay dearly for this farce.

Both Nabavian and Trump have been smoking the crack pipe o’ truth!!!

Walter Sieruk says
That Trump Iran “deal” is a very unjust and terrible affront against all those brave and courageous Iranian patriots who had risked their lives in a righteous and just revolt against that cruel and murderous tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.. For that “deaL” allowed that abomination to continue to exist, and even prosper.
That oppressive regime of torture and death need to be eliminated and replaced by John Locke type of government. For Mr. Locke taught that any good government has the duty to ensure the security and safety of its citizens. So the people under the bondage and oppression of a tyrannical government do have every natural and ethical right to overthrow that terrible and oppressive tyrannical government.
Furthermore,, the State of Israel now has to fight this war with that “mullah regime” of Iran alone, as without the United States as her partner. For its very sad but that President Trump seems to be beguiled, as in deceived, by those liars of the dangerous and hostile Islamic regime of Iran. It’s very strange that Trump doesn’t understand that any document for “peace” which those despots of that tyranny will sign isn’t worth the paper that It’s printed on.

Walter: John Locke’s type of government only works for those within the orb of Western Civilization, the only civilization that deeply explored the parameters of liberty from ancient Greece onwards. There are a few examples (not many) of a non-Western nation successfully going the route of what the West explored in the governmental realm (examples being Japan and to a lesser extent South Korea) but this is only due to their adopting Western notions of freedom, without which democracy simply cannot function.
John Quincy Adams, the only President with a higher IQ than Thomas Jefferson, was eminently correct when he wished all the world well but it came with a caveat, to wit, that America can’t go around trying to make all of the world follow the Western model, the American model, because most of the world is incapable of doing so, none more so than the Islamic world which is a mortal enemy of liberty and thus Locke’s sapient and productive advice will forever be lost on the Islamic world until it ceases to be the Islamic world, which unfortunately seems highly, highly unlikely.
I would add one other matter. Freedom, which is essential to a society functioning optimally in every realm—politics, the economy, culture, society, et al.—must be accompanied by good things like common sense, proper knowledge and self-restraint. Well, in the modern West we have largely lost these good things and this does not bode well for what is left of the West, which by the decade, by the year even, continues to descend.
Westman says
“America can’t go around trying to make all of the world follow the Western model, the American model, because most of the world is incapable of doing so, none more so than the Islamic world…”
True.
In the case of the Islam Jihadi model it seems to be an extension of the hunter-gatherer culture where the hunted are infidels. Looking at Europe it looks like “gathering” from the social systems will continue until sufficient numbers are reached to do more direct “hunting”.
I am unable to find any suggestions of democratic governing or freedom for the individual in Islamic doctrine.

I’m getting what he’s saying. From the islamic regime’s POV, these negotiations are giving Trump the ability to drive further divisions within the regime that unlike in the case of the general Iranian public, they will not be able to put down. Since both sides are within the regime, and both are armed
What the Iranian people, holed up in their homes, should do is come out pretending to be in support of the IRGC on this issue (since they too hate the negotiations b’cos they want the regime overthrown), start getting their guns and then after they’ve gotten enough of them, then launch an uprising. Yeah, it won’t be bloodless, but at least the regime will collapse sooner
OLD GUY says
The USA should finish the job, leaving the current leaders in Iran in power is a win for them. They will always hate and work to destroy non islamic people and their countries. Finish the job now so we don’t have to start over in the near future after they kill our citizens. The IRG will lie sign anything and have no intention of changing their goal of world domination.
