So it is intresting to hear about Iran as the "Greatest Threat to World Peace"© and "We can not allow these fanatical people to get their hands on nukes" — 100% agree, but which fanatics are they referring to? Iran or America and Israel? That question can only be answered, not with emotion and selective amnesia, but with a history lesson (Hiroshima). Please note Iran has not invaded or attacked any country since 1878. However, the last 500 years of ongoing European conquest rarely seems to be notable in the debate about what is and has been a barrier to peace and justice on Earth? We are made to assume that apartheid, slavery, Little Boy bomb on Hiroshima, genocide of Native Americans, Opium Wars, Vietnam, exploitation of African, dead children in Iraq, intervention in Chile, assassinations, etc, are somehow suppressed as evidence against the trial of West vs. Humanity: How can the "good guys" be so bad? And even if acknowledged, there is a belief that it was a very long time ago and the West is now the "good guys" in human affairs. But at what date since WW1, for example, has that moral transformation occurred? When did they go from slave traders to protectors of humanity? Was it after the Civil Rights or after Iraq II? Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it...a famous proverb
