There are those who think the U.S. suffers from prejudice against Obama, competition between political parties, bullies who have the ability to exert power, and vast financial inequality with only limited democracy left.
In my humble opinion, the human family hasn’t acted rationally since the beginning of World War I. Thus it comes as no surprise that an agreement with Iran approved by so many experts and groups looks like it will fail.
The Iran agreement makes war or some form of coercion less likely. The agreement will improve our relations with Iran, Israel, and other nations.
Voting against the agreement makes us look foolish and irrational. Without the deal, nuclear militarization and international strife will be more likely. The human family will have more needless conflict and differences.
I hope this take on evil and prejudice is incorrect. I hope reason and humanity prevail over deep-seated emotion and unacknowledged evil.
Some may feel that this hope will take a miracle, but I believe in miracles. To be honest, I think it’s a miracle that the human family hasn’t blown itself up yet.
