2 I am not sure what type of deal we are looking for. They have butchered their own internal dissidents. This seems like we are sitting down with the owner of the neighborhood crack house to pressure him into improving his lawn care.

3 Super Hose, I don’t knwo about what a deal would look like, but here are President Trump’s preconditions just to discuss then:

Iranian sources told Rooters last week that Trump had demanded three conditions for resumption of talks: zero enrichment of uranium in Iran, limits on Tehran’s ballistic missile program and ending its support for regional proxies.

I had to look a bit, so I added the essence of it as a pull quote in a periwinkle box to make our lives easier.

4 Talking to the Mullahs is a fool's errand, and a betrayal of the Iranian people.

5 TW, they will do none of that. They have killed too many kids and raped too many women. I understand that Iraq turned into a mess when of fell, but a bunch of that was Iran causing the destabilization. Shoring up the regime is not something I think we should do.

6 The middle east is a model of religion, demographics and tribal assholes who apparently NEED strongmen to keep them away from each other's throats. At some some point, it seems economical to arm them to the teeth but keep them contained to finish each other off. Just *dust off your hands* and wait for the outcome. Then crush that.

Have a nice day
