This made me think of that line from AFGM "Another significant agreement will allow U.N. inspectors to press for visits to Iranian military sites...

"But Your Honor, I strenuously object!"

"But we strenuously request to visit your military sites!"

And will probably have the same results...

The Economist has a little more detail on the process. - Roger More Jul 14, 09:13
Let me ask you, what's your solution to keeping Iran from the bomb? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 09:11 11
- Well, first, this deal doesn't keep Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, it, at best delays it. That said, before entering into any deal I would - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:25 9
  - Nothing is going to keep Iran from developing a bomb if it chooses to. The deal is about changing the choices available. - Roger More Jul 14, 09:45 1
    - Exactly. The choices aren't "no terrorism" or "sponsor terrorism", it's "sponsor terrorism" or "sponsor terrorism AND have nukes" - TWuG Jul 14, 09:49
  - Then you get no deal. And Iran has a bomb in 2 or 3 years. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 09:26 6
    - Wha? But I thought all of this talk about Iran being an immediate threat was scaremongering! - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:34 5
      - Less snarky response, without mandatory inspections that Iran can't refuse and delay there's no guarantee they still don't have a nuke in 2-3 years. - IrishStephen Jul 14, 09:40 4
        
        If you think that's the deal,then, with respect, you haven't bothered to look at it. - TWuG Jul 14, 09:45 1
        
        Respectfully, I have. They can refuse and delay inspections, and send it to an arbitration board... - IrishStephen Jul 14, 10:12
        
        You don't have to celebrate it. Can you acknowledge that this is probably the most Iran is going to agree to? - Inigo Jul 14, 09:45 1
        
        Sure, but a shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 14, 10:13
- exactly. Unless we turn them into a parking lot this deal is likely the best you will get - Beaker Jul 14, 09:12
