Call for John von Neumann

    Let us assume Kerry/Obama somehow ensured the Iran Agreement provided our Weapons Inspectors with carte blanche  Would that  have raised or  lowered the odds that it would have actually been honored?

    Sure, when up to your ass in alligators it's sometimes  hard to remember just why you wanted to drain the swamp. But In this case clearly the object was to please not the John McCain's of the world  but the Iranians most able to increase the odds that what was supposedly agreed would be implemented

    That was Minimax...

    And OBTW that required the other side getting  enough of what it wanted  to motivate them to defend it against their McCains. You don't reach an Agreemenet with  those who already agree with you, you do it with your opponents.
