From Mondoweiss:

This is pretty surprising. First, check out the New York Times lead story on the Iran deal. Even the headline is skeptical: Deal reached on Irans Nuclear Program, Breakout Time Still a Point of Concern.

But then check out the readers comments. There are nearly 2000 up; and if you look at Readers Picks those letters judged best by other readers the lineup is staggering. The readers love this deal. Its not till you get down to the 27th comment on the popularity list that a discouraging word is heard. And the comments are smart. The readers know that there are open questions, but they hail the moment, Obamas imagination and stick-to-it-iveness, and above all, the refusal to choose war. They understand!

Also, a number of comments mention Israel and its PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, and not in a favorable light, either.

The Times editors picks of Readers Letters reflect way more ambivalence. But then, the Times editors supported the Iraq war. So why should you listen to them?

Here are some excerpts of the great Readers Picks:

When the history of this moment is told in times to come, I hope Barack Obama will get his proper share of credit for this wonderful and historic moment. Yes, we can. Yes, we did. Charles H Riggs III, NY

Im proud that we chose reason and peace over bluster and bombs. Abkarians, LA

Now, lets watch exactly who tries to sabotage the deal. Want to know who the enemies of peace, the enemies of the U.S., really are? Pay attention. Robert Eller

Iran was crucial in the U.S. victory over the Taleban in the aftermath of 9/11, and I believe the two nations will cooperate even more strongly in defeating ISIS. Hamid Varzi, Spain

Lets see we managed to reach nuclear agreements with the USSR despite not trusting them an inch. This is what diplomacy looks like. It is vision, taking risks, and managing a process. John, Staunton VA

We have a great president. Ifkl

Poll after poll tells us that the American public has had enough of this serial interventionism. We have a chance to avoid the chaotic carnage of another Middle East conflict. Don Shipp, Homestead FL

This is a huge diplomatic victory for the U.S. Americans are seen as war mongers. This victory would enhance their image around the world. T Anand Raj, Tamil Nadu, India

Of course many in congress will oppose this agreement putting Israel and their donors ahead of the worlds and the USAs best interests. Carsafrica, California

Netanyahu hates it, so it must be good. James Thompson, Houston

We are bearing witness to the work of two great men who profoundly understand the power of diplomacy. Phoenix, California

President Obama just earned that Nobel Peace Prize he was so prematurely awarded in 2009. David Howard, California

The Obama administration has just saved the United States thousands of lives, tens of thousands of wounded veterans, and at least a trillion dollars. Dave K, Cleveland

I am a Jewish-American woman who has visited Iran twice (my most recent trip was a month ago), and I cannot speak more highly of the warmth of the people or beauty of the country. SL, New York

Time for Israel to grow up and join the world. Time for Saudi Arabia to stop being the spoiled brat. The investors are at the airport and waiting at the door.

Time for the warmongers to attack the agreement and sabotage it. bill b, New York

An Iran engaged with the rest of the world with people traveling there from America, with cultural and educational cross pollination occurring is a far better Iran than an Iran hostile and isolated. Usha Srinivasan, MD

Now, if we only could get Israel to lock up their stockpile of nuclear weapons. NicV "

The source of the "Death to Americans" lie is the lying Zionist media--the same media which told us that 3 steel-framed skyscrapers fell into their own footprints at near free-fall speed from fire damage on 9/11. It's the same lying media which told us Oswald was the lone shooter. How much longer will the sleeping sheep allow the wool to be pulled over their eyes?

How much longer. I guess until we are all dead! Or we elect somebodies with morals.

One would guess that the average New Yorker just doesn't understand what's going on. I don't think many of them read what's actually happening. By the time these people "get it", it will be too late for America.
