A Critique of the Iran Deal

The Republicon Party, before reading the document, has developed a critique of the current Iran nuclear power agreement that deserves our close attention. What Republicons are telling us is that they want a better deal, and a new deal might be better. There's no denying that. A better deal would be an improvement on a deal that is less than better. The better deal would be, in at least some areas, superior. The logic of this argument in favor of an improved deal is unassailable. The deal we have today with Russia, China, Germany, France, Great Britain and Iran could be revised, refined and beautified. The benefits of an enhanced and polished deal are obvious. So we should reject the current deal and also reject President Obama who, as Sen. Marco Rubio pointed out yesterday, has "no class."
