Money and Iran

July 31, 2015 12:00 am • Last Updated: July 31, 2015 5:17 pm

Money is the most powerful motivator, especially in a capitalist society. It is one of the main reasons people do what they do.

In the Mideast the greatest money maker is oil. People react to how much is spent on their humanity, especially with modern technology showing them most of the world now.

Money is the main reason Iran came to the bargaining table. The world is slowly going to release billions of their own money. Iran will be able to sell oil around the world again. They will also save money by not building a nuclear bomb.

We must be ready and able to show Iran how to spend the money on humanity, including infrastructure, as we once did, for ourselves.
