This Op-Ed is a worthy antidote to the hubris, amnesia, hypocrisy, and brutality being offered up to rationalize war on Iran. Kudos to Geraldine Brooks for having written it, and to The New York Times for publishing it. To quote Motörhead:

Blood on all our hands, we cannot hope to wash them clean
History is mystery; do you know what it means?

Well, you do now.
