President Obama seems to think that if you lick the boots of the enemy, they will back down and stop their anti-U.S. rhetoric. Islam, if we be nice, will be nice back, and the terrorism will stop. The deal with Iran was all about appeasement and boot licking, but the reality is, Iran cannot be trusted, and the leadership is determined to spread Islam, and destroy who they believe to be their two greatest enemies, Israel and the United States.
Chants of "Death to America" continue to rise, despite Obama's deal with Tehran. And no deal will ever be good enough for the Iranians. As they did during the negotiations, Iran will demand more and more. Even after the deal, the United States is being criticized for its tough sanctions against Iran, even though many of those sanctions have been lifted.
Critics of the deal on the American side have challenged the Obama administration for not including the release of American hostages in Iran as a part of the agreement. Secretary of State John Kerry claims the American negotiating team tried. "Not one meeting that took place" during the recent Iranian nuclear talks at which the U.S. didn't raise the issue of four Americans still held captive by Tehran, he said.
Iran calls the American refusal to lift all of the sanctions against Iran, and the restrictions regarding the number of centrifuges Iran can operate a case of "global arrogance." Requiring limitations on nuclear technology, and requiring inspections of facilities are "excessive demands" as far as Iran is concerned. Iran claims that all of its nuclear ambitions are for civilian purposes, and considers the West hypocritical in their demands.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are very unhappy with the deal, and do not believe it does anything to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions. Israel's Netanyahu calls the agreement a path to war, and a "historic mistake".
Almost half of Israelis polled say they would support a unilateral strike to prevent Iran obtaining the atomic bomb. Nearly three-quarters of respondents in the poll said they thought the agreement would accelerate Iran's development of a nuclear weapon, not prevent it as claimed by the powers.
Netanyahu says Israel is not bound by the deal between Iran and the six world powers. The agreement is "not the end of the story".
Meanwhile, in the mosques and streets of Iran, hardliners continue to chant, "Death to America."
