I just wanted to extend word that no matter how comments go on this website, there is a sizable fraction of the US that understand the deal was about creating an imperfect detente to limit the hardliners on various sides, to create space for progress. We'll see how things shake out, but I just wanted to say that there are plenty of people over here to see this in that way.

I appreciate your understanding.
Although right now the deal is hanging by a thread, I still think its possible that in long term it will be considered a major victory for all parties involved.
The fact that the hardliners couldn't kill it off despite years of effort (while being in power) may be later judged as a strength of it.
