At this point, I don't think sanctions will have any effect.

We either go in and destroy their nuclear facitilities or be prepared to deal with Nuclear Mullahs.

"Diplomats close to the IAEA said that if Iran went ahead and restarted nuclear R&D it would prompt a report to the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors which would then decide whether to call an emergency full meeting of all agency member countries. "


I am sure this just terrifies Iran. (/sarcasm)

Prepare yourself for the latter. The U.S. isn't going to invade Iran.

A staunch conservative, Ahmadinejad has resolutely refused to renounce Iran's right to uranium enrichment and has stirred up more mistrust in the West by dismissing the Holocaust as "a myth" and calling Israel a "tumour" to be "wiped off the earth".

Once again, he's not a Muslim extremist or an Iranian hardliner. He's a conservative. A staunch one.

"Iran will today resume nuclear fuel research as scheduled," government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told a news conference on Monday morning.

I don't mean to get picky here, but why doesn't such announcement qualify for breaking or frontpage news, while "Man Who shot the Pope to be Released" qualifies for Breaking News.

Iran just announced officially this at a news conference Monday, Jan. 9th, morning, just a few hrs ago that they will remove the UN seals. I would think that both in new-ness and impact of such news it fits the general criteria for breaking and frontpage news.

Aye, that's pretty clear. But if we can go through all the little steps and check as many boxes as we can along the way it will work out a lot better for us in the end. You'll have less belly-aching from the international community when we eventually do have to take decisive action.

Talking is useless.

We need to go in with a humongous air strike targeting their nuke facilities. Millions of lives hang in the balance. Cowardice will result in them being needlessly killed.
