If he has the guarantee that Peter won't die, then getting to be President, new era, by the not stopping the death of 0.07 percent of the world population is acceptable.

I LOVE your analysis of Nathan & Peter interaction. I was thinking about this in vague terms while I was watching last night, then the whole thing just gelled as I read your post, into a kind of horrified fascination. The episode next week appears to be dealing with the fallout of Nathan making that *wrong* choice, which should be very interesting indeed.
