The United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency took a dramatically tougher line with Iran yesterday after months of diplomacy, setting an Oct. 31 deadline for the Islamic republic to prove to the world that it is not secretly building nuclear weapons.
Iranian representatives to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna walked out in protest after the agency's 35-nation governing board unanimously approved the U.S.-backed deadline. In an ominous turn, the leader of Iran's delegation warned that the country may cease cooperating with U.N. nuclear inspectors, prompting fears that Iran could follow North Korea in renouncing international treaty obligations that prohibit nuclear weapons research.

They get 12 years and 17 sanctions before we go in and clean up the mess against France and Germany's objections?

You aren't suggesting that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, are you? :)

Israel will go in and take out their reactor just like they did the one Saddam had (and I'm pretty sure our "good friends" the French sold him that one) in the 70's. Our state department will give Israel a "sound verbal thrashing" and then things go back to "normal."
