The Iran Deal: Let Larison Do the Reacting

I was watching a baseball game one time and, as will happen, the batter hit a foul ball right off of his front ankle. He went hopping, grimacing, and cursing from the batter's box. I'm almost certain there were f-bombs, since that's the easiest word in the world to lip read. So, after a minute or two he limps back into the box, and proceeds to foul the very next pitch right off the exact same spot on his ankle. This time he just stood there. No cursing, hopping, or anything. Something can only hurt so much, right? And after that what's the point of complaining?

This is how I feel about the Trump and neocon hawks and their relentless campaign to destroy the Iran nuclear deal and create various pretexts for provoking war. Their arguments are so transparently ignorant, deceitful, and misleading, that one must certainly howl in outrage upon first encounter -- Christ, upon second, third, and fourth encounter. But the thing is, they've been inflicting blunt force trauma with the same club of deception for so many years now, I feel like it's pointless for me to keep pointing out the panoply of lies they employ.

But fortunately, Daniel Larison gets paid to keep pointing out the truth and providing us with the proper background and context to help us see exactly what the neocons are after here. So please, check out Larison's incisive columns on this matter. Me, I'm going to go ice my ankle now.
