Over 30 years?? You must be joking.
That's before Pakistan, India and China developed nukes. Not prone to exaggeration are you...

Since the 1970s, even before the revolution, Iran has sought access to the technology that would give it the option to build a nuclear bomb, should it believe its security situation requires it.
Iran intensified its drive toward nuclear weapons in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq War, following reports of an Iraqi clandestine nuclear program.
1967: Start-up of the U.S.-supplied 5-megawatt Tehran Research Reactor (TRR).
1970: Iran signs the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).
1974: Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) is established.

The parts I've read so far! It's going to take some time to sift through it though.

Actually Benny has been crying it for a little over 20 years.

Here is how I see the deal...we have 3 options:
1) Sign the Deal;
2) Don't sign the deal and keep treating Iran as we have been for decades; or
3) Go to war.
If we sign the deal, then it does not remove the other two options in the event that Iran breaks the deal. So where exactly is the problem?
Sign it, hope for the best and remain prepared for the worst.
