All social workers want is to get everyone involved in a programme. Because a programme provides full employment for three generations of social workers. And they mess up. ↗

If Iran becomes a nuclear weapon state it is the end of non-proliferation as we know it. If Iran gets a nuclear weapon you are likely to see Saudi, Egypt and other countries follow suit and we will bequeath to the next generation a nuclear arms race in the world's most unstable region. ↗
