I haven't given too much thought to this deal with Iran.

As I see it, we have three options:
1) Sign the agreement and hope they do not build a nuclear bomb.
2) Keep things the way they are, continue the sanctions, and hope they do not build a nuclear bomb.
3) Go to war with them. (Because that's worked so well before.)

Seems to me this is Freshman diplomacy: Offer them the choice between the olive branch or a baseball bat. If they accept the olive branch that's great. If not, we go to war. Obviously, everyone wants the olive branch.
