You do realize that NYTIMES is owned by Rupert Murdock, right? I would hope that our country is finally tired of wars and work at all times for peaceful solutions. Can you blame the government of Iran for not believing that the US will keep their word on anything after the debacle of 47 senators writing a letter telling the government that the US can not be trusted to honor their pacts? Maybe it’s time to stop supporting Israel in the constant war fever-just my opinion
Actually the Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. is the scion from the original Ochs family that controls the newspaper. The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon). The 47 senators were pointing out that treaties must be approved by the Senate. If the Iranians are interested in an oral agreement we have nothing but words that can be easily abrogated. Barack Obama is too anxious to obtain an agreement.
