In 1997, the New England Journal of Medicine called economic sanctions "a war against public health." Sanctions constitute war by other means. Manipulated money power in private hands used irresponsibly is financial war.

Delegitimizing Iran's legal nuclear program shows which side Times editors support. They're the same anti-populist power and wealth ones they always back on all vital issues.

The Washington Post

A WP editorial headlined, "Running out of time to stop Iran's nuclear program," saying:

The IAEA "spelled out in detail what governments around the world have known for a long time: Iran's nuclear program has an explicit military dimension, aimed at producing a warhead that can be fitted onto one of the country's medium-range missiles."

Fact check

Substituting bombast for truth, Post editorializing got another black eye. Throughout the piece, accuracy was nowhere in sight. 

Like The Times, Journal, and others like them, however, what else can be expected from establishment broadsheets. They stop short of doing what readers expect - their job.

"The IAEA's evidence....ought to end serious debate about whether Tehran's program is for peaceful purposes. That's why Russia and China tried to block the report."
