I haven't been writing about Iran much lately, simply because there's been very little of significance to write about.
In essence, four years or so after the Mullah's clandistine nuclear weapons program was outed by Iranian dissidents, the Song Remains the Same...Iranian leaders like Khamanei and Ahmadinejad continue to tell the West exactly what their intentions are and the West continues not to believe them.
A couple of years ago, they said that Iran was NOT going to cease enriching uranium, that as far as they were concerned any threats of sanctions were meaningless and that they were going to do exactly as they pleased as far as their nuclear program was concerned.
Nothing's changed, and all of the `incentive packages' and attempts at diplomacy did nothing but buy time for the Mullahs to build up their military, increase their air defences and ramp up their nuclear weapons program..just as I predicted.
At present, chief UN
So the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany met in London today - and decided absolutely nothing. Except to kick the ball back to the UN for some more meaningless, mind numbing debate.
Thanks to Iran's ally Russia, who's building Iran's nuclear facilities for them and China, who desperately craves Iranian oil the original UN Resolution in July aimed at Iran's violations of the Nuclear proliferation Treaty was watered down to the point of absurdity. And even that won't be acted on, if Russia and China continue to oppose any sanctions at all, as they have said they do.
The sanctions would be meaningless anyway, just like the sanctions against Saddam's Iraq were. Evading such things gets surprisingly easy when you have oil to sell.
If President Bush continues to allow this charade to continue - and it pretty much looks like he will, at this point - we will pay in blood in the not too distant future for this neglect.
