Wow, what a great answer! "Iran shouldn't be trusted. We'll snap back the sanctions if Iran missteps. War should be a last resort."

That's an incredibly basic answer in all honesty. War as a last resort is actually most politicians mantras, even in the GOP. It's political science 101 - Jus ad bellum. The right just wanted a "better" deal, They're not complaining that President Obama didn't call in the aircraft carriers, the SEALs, and the Army to conquer the Persians, they're complaining about the deal's contents.

I don't mean to come off as an asshole, but the internet's knees must be sore after praising Senator Sanders for so long.

When the policy is "don't negotiate," the only policy is war. And that's what the warmongers want. Nothing short of it. Did you read the 2000 policy document "Rebuilding America's Defenses"? Go check it out.

Once you're done with that, take a very close look at the political events in 2006 and into 2007. See who was pushing for war and who ultimately stopped it.

It's not "don't negotiate" though. At least, not for a vast number of Senators. They just dislike the deal. You can look at the Heritage Foundation and Brookings Institute for a general conservative criticism. They aren't saying "Let's nuke Iran!" they're saying "Wow, this deal is shit. Can't we do better?"

Sorry, I don't agree with negotiations with violent groups that want to kill us. Other nation states, maybe. Not jihadist style groups.
