    Consolatio #5 - For the Evil, Show Your Pity: Book 4 of the Consolation of Philosophy, All Things Depend Upon Will and Power, Virtue is the Health of the Soul, Our Aim Is To Be Unlike Those We Hate

    At long last, Book 4 of the 5-book masterpiece, De Consolatione de Philosophiae by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius. Translated by W. V. Cooper, critical edition by Goins and Wyman.

    I would describe this one as "a comfy doozy slightly too close to home."

    Enjoy~

    Kissinger's Flip-Flop on the Iran Deal
    "Today, the standard claim is that Iran has no need for nuclear power, so it must be pursuing a secret weapons program: "For an oil producer such as Iran, nuclear energy is a wasteful use of resources," Henry Kissinger explains. When the shah was in charge, Kissinger, as Secretary of State, held that " introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran's economy and free remaining oil reserves for export Or conversion to petrochemicals." Washington acted to assist these efforts, with Cheney, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld also playing significant roles. US universities (my own, MIT, for one, despite overwhelming student opposition) were arranging to train Iranian nuclear engineers, doubtless with Washington's approval, if not initiative. Asked about his reversal, Kissinger responded with his usual engaging frankness: "They were an allied country" before 1 979, so therefore they had a genuine need for nuclear energy."
