Well, while there IS no doubt plenty to tease out about doing any kind of business with the Iranian state without sounding like a wooly-headed kool-aid drinking retro-hippie peace-nik (ah the good old days) yet certain things stand out quite clearly. The anti-Iran crowd are precisely the same cast of characters who were so abysmally wrong about Iraq, Sadam, and the BLTs (er … I mean the WMDs ). Further not only are the hysteria-mongers the same neoconservative cultists, but Iran has been their end-game per the “Clean Break” action plan of The Project for a New American Century that was initiated in 2003 by the re-invasion of Iraq in the first place.
And as far as tge pro-agreement voices are concerned, they seems to come from a reasonably diverse group of commentators all of whom - by the way - stood opposed to the 2003 Iraqi invasion. So who has the street cred on this issue anyway? The question answers itself.
