With so much discussion and dissension regarding the Iran nuclear agreement, I suggest the following:

Our Department of State requests a confidential meeting with the chief Iranian negotiator.

Instead of Secretary of State John Kerry, we send Al Pacino dressed in his “Godfather” outfit – on a 48-hour contract to act as our secretary of state – along with the chiefs of staff of our Army, Navy and Air Force.

Mr. Pacino addresses the Iranian chief negotiator and offers his assistance to tweak the deal to ensure it’s approved by Congress for the benefit of all parties.

He offers them the following “deal they cannot refuse.”

 Iran gets its $100 billion that is currently frozen within 30 days – a much better deal for Iran, for sure!

Sanctions on Iran are eliminated within 30 days – a much better deal for Iran, for sure!

In exchange for the above, Iran dismantles all nuclear facilities and all long-range missile development within 30 days – all subject to American inspection verification, with zero time delay or site restrictions during the 30-day period.

Now, Mr. Pacino gives the Iranian negotiator 24 hours to respond. No further comments are offered. Mr. Pacino then “exits left” with his entourage.

The world might become a safer place.

Note: There is a precedent for using actors as politicians. Don’t forget: We had a Hollywood actor who served eight years as president (Ronald Reagan)!
