Tehran residents rejoice and drivers honk their horns after the announcement of a landmark deal that will lift sanctions and avert the threat of war.
Iranians have reacted jubilantly to news of a breakthrough in nuclear negotiations, in the hope it will end years of international isolation and economic hardship – and avert the threat of war.
The news from Switzerland was especially sweet coming as Iranians celebrated the final day of their Nowruz new year holidays. Even though newspapers, bazaars and state institutions were closed, many welcomed the landmark agreement which they believe will have a dramatic effect on the lives of ordinary Iranians.
“This will bring hope to our life,” said Ali, a 34-year-old Tehrani citizen. “It was as if someone had blocked my airways but I can now breath. Everyone is happy, we’ve been waiting for this for too long.”

since the fundies love thumpin' that bible of theirs - but for the life of me, I CANNOT find a SINGLE WORD from Our Lord Jesus Christ that EVER said, or inferred - "Blessed are the war-makers."
Still can't find the damn thing... It's GOTTA be there somewhere! Cuz them fundies love their war crap SO bad, and Gawd is on THEIR side! They KNOW the mind of God. They just DO!
Well, that's what they tell us all the time...
So, so true! 
for the good guys and now lets see what the bad guys have to say---just can't wait--because it will be the same old tired talking points attacking this administration all it will be is another form of bigotry coming from the republicans and there hate for this mans (Obama) team
Maybe you should use the 
smilie.
Not clear, not clear...
That would solve one very irritating problem.
Oh wait, never mind; April Fool's was yesterday.
No . . . but, I'd like to see Turtle Man try!!!!!!

Moreover, what is the only country to have used nuclear weapons against a civilian population? What country has staged over seventy armed interventions since the second world war? What country dumped millions of tons of poison on impoverished south east nations, bequeathing them the eternal legacy of birth defects such as these:-
Iran hasn't waged a war of aggression since the time of Darius the Great. They refused to use chemical weapons even in the face of chemical attacks waged against them by Saddam Hussein, chemical weapons that were tenderly provided to the Iraqis by...guess who?
Iran would have to wage bloody war across five continents for a generation to even dream of having the sort of blood on its hands that the United States does.
Lucky we are to have such a man as this, at this time.
GIVE IT A CHANCE!
Are you certain? The Beeb may have jumped the gun. 'Librul' Beeb journalists, can't trust 'em.
As a former English teacher, I beg your leave to point out a grammatical bête noire of mine:
To whom
Whom: objective case, object of the preposition 'by'
Who: subjective case, subject of the sentence, 'Who is promising what to whom'?
Sorry, but on occasion my grammar instincts cannot be suppressed.
eyebrow, too, I'll bet!
Makes my heart overflow with joy.... infact, that joy starts dripping out of my eyes.
Peace! 
I am so proud of John Kerry and President Obama.
I had tears in my eyes, too!
Preach it, brother!
Hardliners in Iran have criticized the preliminary agreement with world powers on their country’s nuclear program. The framework deal, the full details of which have still to be agreed, will see Iran curb sensitive nuclear activities in return for relief from sanctions.
Hossein Shariatmadari, an adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said Iran had exchanged its “saddled horse” for one with a “broken bridle”. But many people have been celebrating the deal on the streets of Tehran.
Another conservative analyst, Mehdi Mohammadi, called the deal “in no way balanced”. He told Fars that it represented a “disaster for Fordo”, the underground nuclear facility that will remain open but not used for enriching uranium.
Israel meanwhile called it “a step in a very, very dangerous direction”. Government spokesman Mark Regev said Iran would be left with an expansive nuclear infrastructure and able to pursue what he alleged was its “single goal” of developing a nuclear weapon.
A cartoon published in The Economist portrays US President Barack Obama shackled to an
Israeli controlled US Congress. Speaker John Boehner who is now in Israel invited Israeli PM
Netanyahu to speak about an Iran deal at a joint session despite objections from the White House .
Similarly , the Iranian hardliners in this Cartoon led by their Supreme leader are also trying
to prevent their president Rouhani from shaking hands with Obama

'victory lap' on this board.
Not to the world in its entirety.
are the predictable ones who view diplomatic solutions as a sign of weakness. Only bombing or invasions are signs of strength and appearing to be 'strong' is all they want to achieve in foreign policy. 
all the time it was intended as .
Thanks pampango, I get it now! 
They want peace. 
Now we need to make an honest examination of our own self-serving conduct in the region. Without doing so, 'peace' will be short-lived.
