The Iranian nuclear deal is a big step toward world peace, and Republicans would be praising it if one of their own had negotiated it, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul told Newsmax TV's "The Hard Line."
Paul told host Ed Berliner that the deal echoed Ronald Reagan's deal with the Soviets in the 1980s. Paul's biggest problem with the deal was that the United States had to work under the confines of the United Nations and NATO.
"There's something to be said about moving in the direction of at least talking to people instead of saying, 'All right, you're scoundrels, we'll keep our $100 billion we've taken from you and all options are on the table, like if you don't do what we tell you, we're allowed to use our nuclear weapons against you,'" Paul said.

The credo of the Libertarian party is gimme my dope first and then we will talk about something you think is important.
Stupid Is As Stupid Says
So Ron Paul comes out for the proliferation of nuclear power plants in terrorist hands. Bad enough that the Japanese have them.
Well now, Shiite terrorists killed hundreds of US service personal in Iraq with their IEDs. Iran is still holding US hostages. You do remember the Iranian hostage crisis ? They just held a rally in Tehran where hundreds of thousands chanted death to Israel and death to America. It was a religious chant. Not a stupid political party slogan. And then of course we have the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon by Iranian terrorists. The question is, what does someone have to do to inform you that they are your sworn enemy ?
My point is, Saudi Arabia is not a good guy and they’re the ally of our government. That makes no sense, so nothing else we do in the Middle East does.
