I’m Sure Iran Is Quaking In Their Sandals...

And speaking of irrelevant, The EU is very upset that Iran is looking to continue enriching their fissionable materials. So, the EU has pulled out it’s ultra, super-secret weapon...(Hat-Tip to LGF)

VIENNA (Reuters) - France, Britain and Germany have warned Iran they will break off talks and join Washington in seeking U.N. Security Council action if Tehran makes good on its threats to resume atomic work, EU officials said on Thursday.

The foreign ministers of the European Union’s three biggest powers sent a toughly worded letter to Hassan Rohani, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, warning that resuming potentially arms-related nuclear work "would bring the negotiating process to an end," an EU diplomat quoted the letter as saying.

"The consequences could only be negative for Iran," it said.

No! Say it isn’t so! A "toughly-worded letter" has been sent to Iran. Yep. That’ll get their attention all right. I wonder how many in the Iranian government laughed themselves to death when they got this letter.

Look, the monkeys over in Europe can’t be this stupid. Iran is only negotiating with the EU because they’re willing to give Iran what they want—a heavy water reactor; the same kind of reactor used in enriching nuclear materials. The Russians are negotiating with Iran to send them fuel rods for their reactors. It seems to me that these nations really have no idea that they’re negotiating with a rottweiler that is going to snap back at them later.

Iran can’t be trusted the same way that North Korea can’t be trusted. And nations are negotiating with them. Yes, we are doing the same with North Korea; it’s called exhausting diplomatic avenues. But with the EU and Iran, it’s a much different story. As a matter of fact, if the EU would like a quick history lesson, they’re following the same idiotic path that Pres. Clinton and Sec. Of State Albright used for North Korea. And she just came out not too long ago and admitted that she and the US were duped.

No offense, Madam Secretary, but America didn’t get duped. America knew you couldn’t trust the psychotic, controlling little runt. The deal we struck with North Korea was the proverbial deal with the devil, and the EU is making the same mistake. Regimes like Iran and North Korea should not have the ability to create WMDs, and that means no nuclear power. No reactors. No power plants. No nothing.

Both regimes violate human rights on a daily basis. And I’m not talking about the UN’s idea of human rights. I’m referring to the human rights recognized through the ages; the ones that Machiavelli referred to in The Discourses. Those would be the ones that state people have an inherent right to be free, and to live. Period. In North Korea, close to 300,000 people are in forced labor camps (read: gulags), and endure treatment that would make most just positively sick. Women have forced abortions, and the inhabitants of these gulags are fed only enough to keep them alive. Disgusting practice, folks.

In Iran, the populace there are treated much like those in Saddam’s Iraq were. The ruling clerics and theocratic government rule through their religious texts rather than law. To them, the law is whatever their religious ideas dictate. Women are treated below the level of a second-class citizen. I have read stories from women that have escaped Iran that they were considered lower than animals in Iran. Public stoning is still a common form of punishment in Iran. And God forbid the liberals in this nation see how they execute people. Cruel and unusual punishment, indeed, as many that are sentenced to die are publicly whipped, then hung. Oh yeah, these people are right up there with the rest of the world in the 21st Century.

But the EU seems to think that their letter to Iran is going to change things. In a way, it will. Iran will quit talking about reestablishing it’s nuke program, and take the development of nuclear weapons underground. I’m sure, for the most part, it already is. There should be no negotiations with either of these regimes. There should only be isolation until they are ready to join the rest of civilized society.
And I know that people will point to us, to Great Britain, and to numerous other nations that are a part of the "nuclear club" and state we’re the reason that these nations are trying to build a nuclear arsenal. Possibly, but the difference is we’re not threatening anyone with a nuclear attack. Iran has threatened Israel with a nuclear attack. North Korea has threatened us. There’s the difference between us and them.


WE know the consequences of our actions with such weapons. And we’re not easily provoked into using them; to us a nuclear weapon is a last resort, or a response to a similar attack from an enemy. These nuts in Iran and North Korea could honestly care less. To them, having such weapons allows them to blackmail their neighbors, and virtually the world, for people to give them what they want. We can ill afford to deal with such people, and it’s foolish to even consider negotiating with them.

Publius II
