Remarks prepared for a rally at the Legislature, Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 30, 2015.
The Iran nuclear agreement, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, between Iran on one side and the five permanent members of the Security Council, Germany, and the European Union on the other, signed July 14, 2015, raises two questions. One is whether a better deal could have been negotiated. The other is whether no deal is better than this deal. The answer to both questions is yes.
It defies understanding why those negotiating with Iran did not insist on a commitment from Iran to human rights as part of this deal.
