Were you expecting me to argue with any of that? I didn't at the time of
the deal, and don't now. I always knew it was their money plus interest back to '79, and oh BTW didn't really bash the deal back then. I said then I trusted Kerry and Obama to get the best deal for the US they thought they could, even though everyone knew it had serious flaws.
That doesn't change that we still sent all that money to a regime that hates us, and intended to and did bad things with it. And did so by the choice of our leadership, not by a court ruling that hadn't happened but was used to rationalize not getting a better deal. Nor does it change that a better deal can be had, and I believe, ok maybe hope, the steps Trump is taking are the best way to get there we've seen. Isolate and starve the SOB's. Contain their damage as best you can, and retaliate strongly when they do act badly.
