Nuclear Peace in our Time

Many years ago, Albert Einstein commented about our "human" worship of war:
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, and for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
In the spirit of that great and immortal genius, let us think carefully about Iran's call for a nuclear free Middle East, and an end to nuclear proliferation globally.
Instead of singling out Iran, the world should rally behind this effort and give Iran the benefit of the doubt. I find it ironic that the only nation that has ever used its nuclear weapons on an enemy, the US, in tandem with Israel, which refuses to disclose its own lethal 'world-ending' weapons, is leading the charge against Iran's probably tiny and inconsequential effort to protect itself against Israel's preparation to plunge our world into a, as George W. would call a NU-Qular disaster.
