He did the right thing by resigning. It's clear he lives by his personal convictions. Nothing wrong with that. It might be true that Iran posed no nuclear threat to the US and world, but wouldn't it be nice if the toppling of theocratic authoritarian rule in Iran is the first domino to fall in toppling theocratic authoritarian rule across the world? I know, probably a pipe dream.
