Hiroshima, Iran and the West

This is a very thought provoking and sometimes uncomfortable piece of journalism. With things being ratcheted up in the middle east once again, it is a timely reminder that there are no goodies and baddies in the world and that surely negotiations by posturing governments must not fail at the expense of the innocent masses.

On the other hand, while the Second World War was ended by a such a brutal act as the nuclear bombings, it all got out of control in the first place through cowardly appeasement.

Where do we draw the line with Iran? I am unsure, but I am certain we are not there yet.
