The American-Iranian Agreement: Moving Mankind Past War

In an epoch of technological development, the relative dearth of political

development as concerns international relations has been evident. In June 2015,
Pope Francis advocated the establishment of a global institution having

Barak Obama announced an agreement with Iran that would keep that nation-state
from develop nuclear weapons in exchange for the removal of economic sanctions.
Just three years earlier, war had seemed unavoidable. I submit that Obamas
accomplishment can be thought of as a step toward rendering war itself as
obsolete, or at least primitive.
