“We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be or how to worship. Instead, we are here to offer partnership, based on shared interests and values.”

President Obama gave Iran what they wanted--nuclear weapons will be legal within 15 years and their billions of dollars that have been sequestered in the US since the Iran Revolution were given back.

 Trump and Boeing are getting what they want from Saudi Arabia. Billions of dollars in military and civilian aircraft sales.  The Saudis also get us to continue our drone attacks that Obama started in Yemen.   

Sunni vs. Shi'a except that the US is still helping the Iraqi Shi'a against ISIS. 

"In the long term," war "will plague the Arab world" until either the Sunnis or the Shi'as win the war started in 632.   

The theocracy of Iran or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.   Those are the facts on the ground.  That is the 'pragmatic' reality.
