Why? If you had an opinion of our President Harper or any of the members of his cabinet, I'd be interested in the "outside perspective".
Actually, US politics might start interesting us less. Where ours used to be basic, boring and regular exercises in democracy, they're beginning to get really interesting what with our own Patriot Act, corruption, backtracking and torture involvement becoming exposed - and all with an election coming up next year!

This wasn't really about Iran getting nukes, and neither is the framework agreement they've ironed out. It's about Bachmann using a wholly inappropriate and sad event overseas as her analogy for yet another anti-Obama talking point, using the fear of a mushroom cloud despite the fact Iran signed the Nuclear non-proliferation pact and the US did not, btw.

But the deal doesn't give Iran nukes. And it's not "his" deal. There are five countries plus Iran involved in the negotiation.
