They asked Napoleon – emperor of the known world – how come he didn’t commit suicide when he was banished to the remote Island S. Helena – the answer is he replied "I have never done anything I can’t regret later" Napoleon may have been power hungry but he certainly was genius – and the flip side of his statement is equally truthful, never do anything which wont allow you to regret it – in other words, if we take a hard stand against say a Nuclear Iran – it is possible Iran is a peaceful country looking only as they claim (why they can’t use the oil which they export for this purpose…) nuclear energy, to offer energy solutions to its people – worse case scenario, we can regret our mistake – but the even more worse case scenario, is we won’t be alive to be able to have regrets
