nuke deal
if the reports of what's in this deal are true, and iran actually follows up on it, then there's really only one thing to say: holy crap. holy fucking crap. serendipity? perhaps. or more likely years of speaking softly turned out to be more effective than waving a big stick. go obama go. maybe we should get out of this man's way. one wonders what he may have accomplished if we had aided him instead of hindered him. heh. i'm reminded of the blue adpept. where he travels through a land that got half a prophecy: aid this man and half your number will die. so they tried their darndest to kill him. until they got the second half of the prophecy: hinder him and all are lost.
