Planned Obsolescence

It is not a question as to whether or not the Iran agreement will work, it is whether or not the rest of the world provides a peaceful place for Iran. A war can only exist if there are two that consider each other enemies. 

It was important Europe, Russia, China and the USA all had a vested interest in the agreement. Every major country involved in these talks have vital interests in the region. It all has to work and the agreement is a catalyst to a lasting peace. 

One of the worst cases of failed agreements was the invasion into Iraq. It caused an enormous shift in the USA's trustworthiness. The world has a chance to garner peace and make it work. The USA cannot simply wait and place another president in office that seeks reasons to war. 

It is important the entire global community embrace this agreement with Iran and bring the country into a desired peace. We know the region is capable of it. The Sunnis, Shia and Kurds accept each other in domestic peace. It is time to bring war to an end. Pandora's Box and Slippery Slopes are some of the best reasons to end hate and promote peace. This agreement is important, but, the timeline to ten to fifteen years into the future is to secure a stable and prosperous Middle East. 

When reflecting on Iran and the current war environment, it is easy to appreciate Iran's ability to defend their own people. Without the Shia militia, Iraq would have been lost. Iran is capable of being a strong ally.
