After highlighting the importance of fathers, John Boland and Timothy Cordes discuss the framework for ending the Iran conflict.
Tim looks back to Prime Minister Neville chamberlain and the history of appeasement. He wonders about negotiating as if your adversary is a rational actor.
John reviews the recent history of Iran and President Obama’s agreement to try to contain Iran’s nuclear program.
John thinks the current memorandum is laughable. First, it is not an actual agreement.
The Buddies review recent Babylon B headlines highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
John chooses “Jefferson Davis” Vance as his whack-job this week for his unflagging flogging of a memorandum deserving scrutiny.
Tim’s hero is a principal who saved lives with his courage and quick action.
