I think he was putting Obama to the test here, just to have it on the record. Any chance of Iran recognizing Israel is about the same as “Palestine” doing so, never mind other Arab/Islamic nations in the region.
Making the point is rational. I’ll give him that, so I agree with you.
Here’s the kicker for me.
Iran agrees to stop it’s nuclear bomb program, allow full inspections and comply with U. S. and Western demands. It still refuses to recognize Israel.
The deal is thus thwarted.
Is that a situation we would like to see?
As much as I support Israel, that wouldn’t be serving it’s best interests.
I realize Iran is not going to comply with any of this, so the point is mute. Still, on point I disagree with the linkage. I just want Iran to be prevented from developing the bomb.
