The Editorial Board at the New York Times is fed up with how the Republican
party is responding to President Obama’s proposed deal with Iran – a difficult
to negotiate and exceedingly important deal that could be torpedoed solely
because the GOP doesn’t like the President.
Even more frustrating is the hypocrisy at play.
Policy considerations aside, what is most striking about the demagoguery is
how ahistorical, if not downright hypocritical, it is. Negotiating with
adversaries to advance a more stable world has long been a necessity, and
Republican presidents have been among its most eager practitioners.
Obama and Kerry have worked tirelessly to come to the same type of agreement
that Nixon and Reagan made during their tenures. A deal which could save lives
and is primarily about preventing war.
