Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil About Evil

Thanks allies!

Britain, France, Germany and the European Union made a joint call to the United States to protect the Iran nuclear pact, saying Tehran had a right to benefit from the lifting of sanctions tied to it.

The "right" to sanctions relief for participating in an awful deal that at best delays Iran's ability to go nuclear--an ambition that Iran never even admitted to having. And in the meantime Iran gets better at the mechanics of nuclear engineering with the other parties obliged to help Iran.

All that was missing from the performance was a boast that the deal provides peace for our time.

As for their joint call?

One, none of those entities are the primary target of future Iranian nuclear weapons.

Two, none of those entities would have to take part in a military action to deal with Iranian nuclear weapons.

And three, given Iran's aggressive support for terrorism and their drive to improve conventional military capabilities, why does Iran even need nukes?

It seems to me that just having a so-called nuclear deal is all the protection Iran needs to shield their actions from counter-measures by Britain, France, Germany, and the EU--and if they have their way, America, too.

Oh, and fourth, I expect better from Britain, which seems to be sliding back into accepting vassal status within the EU again.
