Wall Street Journal Does not Understand Main Street, Tehran


The Wall Street Journal, which always sees Obama proposals through a glass half empty, reasons that pro treaty demonstrations in Tehran signifies a diplomatic victory for Iran. http://www.wsj.com/articles/why-theyre-cheering-in-tehran-1436916912

For a thirsty nation, even lacking running water in some areas, the glass is half full.  That is good for America.  Those who have read the treaty know that it was drafted with heavy water input from nuclear scientists.  If the general public in Iran has the acumen and sophistication to fully understand the treaty, perhaps we should concede world domination now.

The obvious truth is that Iranians want water, food, and electricity, and they want it now.  They believe the lifting of sanctions will improve their standard of living to pre-sanction levels.  If they are right most of the 100 billion dollars will flow to them rather than to terrorist activities.

To quote the song from 'Frozen,' "Let it flow, let it flow."
