West 'humiliating' Iran, says Hans Blix
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3370155,00.html ^

Former chief UN weapons inspector Hans Blix said Monday the United States, Europe and the UN Security Council are ''humiliating'' Iran by demanding that it suspend uranium enrichment before any negotiations and then dictating its rewards.

'The first incentive, I think, is to sit down with them in a direct talk rather than saying to them 'you do this, thereafter we will sit down at a table and tell you what you get for it,''' Blix said. ''That's getting away from a humiliating neo-colonial attitude to a more normal (one).''

''People have their own pride whether you like them or don't,'' he told a media briefing ahead of a daylong conference on ''Weapons Threats and International Security'' organized by The Century Foundation, a Washington-based research institute on domestic and international challenge

Sounds like he is still upset about having afternoon teas with Saadam brought to an end.

Blix is a moron.

No mention of how Iran "humiliated" the United States during the 1979 Tehran hostage crisis, continued threats of violence and support for terrorists, meddling in the Iraq war, and general harassment of our ally Israel.

Typical one-sided U.N. loon.

A good hard squeeze of Blix and a not only could a lot of mysteries be solved, but a lot of lives saved as well.

Blix however is in very tight with the anti-american crowd and with the islamic fundamentalists.

And this is bad because?

Thousands of Iranians were gathered in pro Western demonstrations prior to the Iraq war. Then came the crack down.

"Humiliating" Iran?

Not NEARLY enough. They want a non-military option? International humiliation of Iran all because of Ahmadinejad and maybe they'll remove him internally.

"This is in a way like telling a child, first you will behave and thereafter you will be given your rewards," Blix said.
"And this, I think, is humiliating. ..."
If you behave like a child you'll treated like one.

Ahmadinejad is not being treated like a child.

OPINION: Ahmadinejad has made it perfectly clear that he
does not want to be our friend. In fact, he seems
hell bent on being our enemy. That's too bad -- for him.

I bet they refuse to let Iran blow up N.Y.C. too, even though NYC would very much love to get blowed up by Iran.

You should know, that you're in trouble, when you are best and immediately known as a marionette figure from an over the top comedy.

OK, you're country is man enough to support, train and arm terrorists in at least 4 countries. You're man enough to conduct a nuclear weapons program and keep it secret for 20 years until a defector blows the whistle. But now, those threatened by your drive for nuclear weapons shouldn't do anything to stop you, because of the "humiliation".

Hooo Kay. Sounds about right to me.

Let's stop humiliating Iran in this way. Let's humiliate them by outlawing Iran forever. Let's begin bombing in 5 minutes.

Think how *humiliated* they'll be if they glow in the dark.



Why does Blix still have a job?
