The also understand that the possession of a <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Nuclear weapon\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nuclear_weapon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">nuclear weapon<\/a> by Iran will help make that possible. Israel has had nuclear weapons for a long time, but has never been\u00a0a threat to its neighbors&#8211;Israel has always made it clear that its nuclear weapons (which they only recently admitted having) are for defensive purposes only. Considering the neighborhood they live in, it is probably a really good thing for them to have nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>There will be two major changes in the Middle East as a result of this agreement. The first is that within a fairly short time, Saudi Arabia will become a nuclear power. I suspect Egypt will not be far behind. The second result is that Iran will now have the money to buy the delivery system for the nuclear bomb that they will build within the next few years (despite this agreement). We have seen this play before&#8211;it resulted in North Korea going nuclear. We have not learned the lessons of history.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some quotes from various news sources on the treaty:<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/pjmedia.com\/claudiarosett\/historic-iran-nuclear-deal-today-even-more-historic-and-terrible-reckoning-to-come\/\" target=\"_blank\">PJMedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>This deal is an historic disaster. Not only does it legitimize <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Nuclear program of Iran\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nuclear_program_of_Iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Iran\u2019s nuclear program<\/a>, but it goes far to confer legitimacy on Iran\u2019s regime \u2014 the world\u2019s leading state sponsor of terrorism. For the U.S., it\u2019s a variation of running up massive U.S. government debt, and leaving the next <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"President of the United States\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/President_of_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">American president<\/a> \u2014 as well as America\u2019s people, and our allies \u2014 to face the real cost.
