3. Islamic Sect Culture and Violence was and is at the heart of the GOP Congress now and during

the Bush Administration. In my opinion:

Wahhadi Islam of Saudi Arabia and ISIS, is the enemy to Shiite Islam of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Wahhadi Islam of Saudi Arabia and ISIS and ISIL are the enemy of Sunni Islam in Iraq. There are reports of Shiite and Sunni fighting together in Iraq against ISIL: sometimes known as IS Wahhidis coming from Shiite Syria.

Wahhadi Islam attacks all other religions and Islamic sects that are not Wahhadi. Boko Haram in Africa just joined the Wahhadi Movement going to Libya to kill people and take over the killing in the oil fields. Wahhadism gives Boko Haram a Jidhad, so as to excuse their murderous acts in Africa.

Bush Administration destabilized the entire power structure/Islam, of the Middle and Near East. Now wars are ensuing to reestablish the BALANCE OF POWER which is NOT the business of the US. Stopping Iran from having a new power, a bomb, to stop Saudi Arabia/Israel, is the real matter at hand which the MIC is trying to keep hidden so they can get contracts financed by the America taxpayers AGAIN, as in perpetual war.

Kerry is trying to comfort himself by bringing his had to his face but hides his frustration by lightly touching the corner of his eye.

Also to national sanity. If you can sit there and say that someone testifying in front of you just said the opposite of what he actually said, knowing that this is being recorded, you are insane and should be in an institution other than the US Senate.

Will the Congress and American People fall for it twice? Thank you President Obama for peace initiatives.

If you voted and voted against Republicans, you or your children should not have to go off to war. Hope the American people do not have to learn this the hard way; after two wars.

10. "Iran is not excited about a U.S. military presence anywhere in the Middle East"

Here's a hint, Marcito: There is NO country in the Middle East, save perhaps Israel, that will ever be "excited" about a U.S. military presence in the Middle East, and for good reason!

This hysteria over Iran is just completely off the rails. Iran has no history of aggression towards its neighbors, notwithstanding the overheated rhetoric of its former president. And when one looks honestly at the history of interactions between the U.S. and Iran over the last, oh, 70 years or so, Iran has FAR more reason to distrust the U.S. than we do to distrust Iran!
