I think the key countries to listen to in this deal are Germany, France, and Russia. They would be a lot closer to the fall out of an Iranian nuke went off. If they approve of the deal, then I think we can.

But the one thing that concerns me is that we're still 90 days away from a formal agreement. A lot can go wrong between now and then.

On the flip-side, Netanyahu is doing his best to lobby against the deal, and it didn't take him long to do it.  Funny how countries with nuclear capability (Israel is thought to have 200+ nuclear warheads) don't want anyone they don't like to have the same thing they they have.

From my perspective, I'm not comfortable with any nations or groups having access to nuclear weapons. There are two reasons for my concern:
1) Nuclear weapons exploding around the globe could very well eliminate all life and render our planet uninhabitable.
2) I have grave doubts that much of the political leadership throughout the globe have the ability to make rational, instead of emotional decisions.

As far as Netanyahu goes, I think he and the Israeli people would be better off if he would begin truthful, rational, and reasonable discussions with neighboring countries, rather than saber rattling, unauthorized confiscation of land and possessions of neighbors, and openly criticizing the government of the country that is his main benefactor and protector.
