The Truth

"In war, truth is the first casualty."

-Aeschylus

The nuclear weapons program was stopped in 2003........................ I'll let that sink in for a moment. 2003, that was four years ago. However, this president seems to have been saying they have nuclear weapons, and we must stop them. Maybe the president really didn't know that they didn't stop their nuclear program, but wouldn't this also mean that Washington should have spent more time looking for the truth rather than continuing to blast Tehran for their "nuclear weapons" development even after broad skepticism by an international community, and the denial of Teheran's government? Aeschylus said that millenniums ago, maybe we should heed his words, and find the truth even in war.
