The deadly threat of a nuclear Iran

Excellent update to the nuclear situation in Iran. Although not the point of the article, this quote by Douglas Davis hits a home run.

The fatal mistake that the European negotiators appear to have made is to project their own values on to Iran's leaders, assuming that revolutionary mullahs share the aspirations and impulses of rational decision-makers in the West (would it ever occur to any Western leader to send waves of children running through minefields, as Iranian children did in the Iran-Iraq war, in order to clear the danger?).
