Whew! I feel much better.

We are no longer at war with Eastasia.

War is Peace! Ignorance is Strength! Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad!

I guess screaming at Kerry in meetings doesn’t count for anything. Iranians will be Iranians!

The law of unintended consequences has not been repealed. Now ISIS and al-Qaeda, amongst others, will make fun of Iran and Hezbollah for not being on the terror list, and Iran and its proxies will feel obligated to make a statement. Probably in a quite destructive manner. Gotta have street cred, and if the Great Satan doesn’t recognize, you have to get his attention— “Hey! we are so terrorists!”

Wait. Didn't Obola read the part of the transcript of Netanyahu's speech where he said, "the enemy of your enemy....is your enemy."?

When nations are on this list, specific laws limit or require certain other measures.

By arbitrarily taking them off the list, much is permitted that otherwise would not be permitted. The tie in with the treaty attempt that allows them nukes is obvious.

There is not an evil this administration does not love and good it does not seek to destroy.
