Reader comment on item: The Geneva Agreement with Iran: A Foreign Policy Disaster
Submitted by Dr. Richard L. Benkin (United States), Nov 24, 2013 at 08:52
When the talks began, I said (and still maintain) that President Obama told Secretary Kerry not to return from Geneva without a deal, any deal, consequences be damned. The fools of Munich in 1938 can now rest in peace as they have been replaced by the 2013 fools of Geneva.
