  • However, in order to utilize the plutonium for a weapon, Iran would still have to build a reprocessing plant to be able to separate plutonium from spent fuel.
  • [I]t will reduce the risk of Iran getting a bomb better than any of the realistic alternatives. Iran has agreed to physical limits on its ability to produce weapons-grade materials that will assure a break-out timeline of roughly a year for the next 10 years, as well as additional restraints and verification measures to monitor compliance and detect cheating. If the U.S. rejects the deal and returns to sanctions, Iran is certain to return to what it was doing before the interim agreement: installing additional centrifuges, enriching uranium, increasing its stockpile of enriched material, developing more advanced centrifuges, and completing the Arak heavy water reactor. The agreement does not solve the problem, but it reduces the risk for now and buys substantial time to resolve the threat in the future.

    The U.K. government accuses the Muslim Brotherhood of being sympathetic to terrorists and a risk to British national security. They accuse the United States of not waking up to the reality of their threat. They state that the Brotherhood has been affiliated with Hamas, and even though they criticized al Qaeda's 9/11 attack, many state that 9/11 was actually fabricated by the US, which raises a concern for Britain.

    The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. With this new threat in the middle east there must be something or someone to combat it.

    The issue with America fighting ISIS is that the United States and the rest of the world do not understand what we are dealing with in the battle against ISIS.
