There needs to be winners on both sides. Bottom line the international community needs to be able to have access to monitor global nuclear activity and the country wants the embargo lifting. What the conditions are and how they are to be met is up to Congress to decide if they are sufficient to meet the desired needs of nuclear safety in the Middle East for the foreseeable future. The devil is in the detail.....? Side: Congress Should Pass It
Regardless of what the scaremongers say, this deal is probably the best chance that the international community has to stop the unmitigated hell of a nuclearly armed Iran. Netanyahu's idiotic ramblings about this being "one of the darkest days in world history" should prove -- to anyone who hasn't worked it out already -- that he is a demagogue who has no principles, other of course from saying anything that will get him elected. (Not to mention the utter hypocrisy of supporting nuclear weapons in one country and opposing them in another simply becuase you hapen to like the former: either governments should be trusted with nuclear weaponry or they shouldn't, and the state of the ME right now strongly suggests the latter.) Obviously the deal isn't perfect (it being obviously impossible to have a perfect relationship with a country which would that your country and everyone in it died) but regardless of all this talk coming from the opponents of the bill, in the real world it is simple essential that democratic nations forge deals to tightly restrict the military capacity of non-democratic nations, including, sad as it may be, with the senile theocrats of Iran. This deal represents the best chance we have had since the 1979 revolution to re-establish some vague form of relationship with Iran and to cripple those few hardliners left who still harbour pointless dreams of nuclear weaponisation, whilst simultanously bringing back some semblance of stablity to Iran's sanction-shattered and tardigrade-like economy.

The details of the deal that have been made public do not seem to support the preconditions concerning verifiability that are prudent when reaching a nuclear weapons deal with a government that chants "Death to America". Congress must have a say in this deal and their ONLY prudent choice is to reject because its an unverifiable deal with an untrustworthy government. Side: Congress Should Not Pass It
The Iranians have been devious in the past, and whilst they stated that U.N. inspections will be allowed from here on in, such inspections will not be automatic. A lot can be hidden in the time from when a request is made for an inspection to the granting of one. I am sure it'll not be too long before we see the familiar plume of the ''Mushroom Cloud'' as Iran tests it's first nuclear device. Side: Congress Should Not Pass It
