Chomsky On GOP Opposition To The Iran Deal

  Excellent background information, a must read.

AlterNet: Noam Chomsky: Why the Republican 'Radical Insurgency' Is So Panicked About the Iran Nuclear Deal - Chomsky lays out aid the geopolitical and historical context for this important agreement
...(Republicnas) have become a “radical insurgency” that scarcely seeks to participate in normal parliamentary politics...

...Iran hardly ranks high in support for terror worldwide, even within the Muslim world. Among Islamic states, Saudi Arabia is far in the lead as a sponsor of Islamic terror, not only by direct funding by wealthy Saudis and others in the Gulf but even more by the missionary zeal with which the Saudis promulgate their extremist Wahhabi-Salafi version of Islam through Quranic schools, mosques, clerics, and other means available to a religious dictatorship with enormous oil wealth. The ISIS is an extremist offshoot of Saudi religious extremism and its fanning of jehadi flames.
