In the bowels of the Washington Convention Centre lurks an interactive dystopia: a step by step guide to how Iran is "pursuing nuclear weapons and how it can be stopped".

The tour is the brainchild of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and has been created for its largest ever policy conference, which began yesterday. AIPAC has made fears about Iran's nuclear intentions a central plank of its congressional agenda.

Underlining AIPAC's status as the most influential foreign policy lobbying organisation, speakers at the conference will include Ariel Sharon, prime minister of Israel; Condoleezza Rice, US secretary of state; New York senator Hillary Clinton; the Republican and Democratic party chairmen Ken Mehlman and Howard Dean; and other senior leadership figures.

The Disney-inspired nuclear tour begins in a dark room, with a strange mottled effect on the carpet and a giant screen introducing "the five main players in Iran's nuclear cat and mouse game".

...

AIPAC's display ends with a sombre caution. "Iran is seeking nuclear weapons. Iran already has the means to deliver them. The world can still act. The threat is real. The clock is ticking."

And the multimedia clock starts to tick.





The war lobby in action.

People need to know about this pack of spies railroading our country into another disasterous war. Complete madness.

And of course, we have to read about this in the foreign press.
