7. Let's hope he does that

It still will not be as good as the Obama deal as it is unlikely to have all the careful monitoring that a team led by Moniz developed. Not to mention, it would be as if someone banned. a Beatles song and then recorded it themselves and wanted credit for writing a classic. People will know it is the same "song".

It also does not start at the same level of trust ... and that wasn't very high on either side. Not to mention the Middle East is less stable than before.

One major problem is that we are not in control of ,"our side". We can't end the fighting in Lebanon, nor are we even talking about rebuilding villages intentionally razed. Consider that we have not progressed much on Gaza.

Years ago, it was said that fighting Afghanistan is what led to the Soviet Union falling apart. We are economically much stronger that the USSR was, but this "excursion" has weakened us economically, diplomatically and militarily. Even before this, long term damage was being done by destroying our educational and research sectors.
