A dam has a large hole, but fixing it will nearly bankrupt the government. This seems like a tough decision. Not so, when you have all the information. There are 6 other holes that cannot be fixed. Worse yet, much of the water has already escaped.
This is the decision to be made on certification of Iranian compliance with the nuclear deal. Decertification would allow America to reimpose sanctions, but the other signatories would not. Our sanctions would be ineffectual. Worse yet, Iran has already had its accounts unfrozen adding 150 billion dollars to its coffers.
Decertification, without proof of Iranian violations would bankrupt our foreign policy. Our word would no longer have currency in the system of international relations. Our allies would ignore our policy goals and look elsewhere for leadership.
Unfortunately, our damn president has a hole in his head which is beyond repair.
