VIENNA, Austria - Iran has turned away U.N. inspectors wanting to examine its underground nuclear site in an apparent violation of the Nonproliferation Treaty, diplomats and U.N. officials said Monday. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the information, told The Associated Press that Iran's unprecedented refusal to allow access to the facility at Natanz could seriously hamper international efforts to ensure that Tehran is not trying to make nuclear weapons.

Kofi will be relieved when the Iranians test fire a nuke and announce they have 50 functioning weapons so he can get that off his desk once and for all.

I think Iran may go the way of N.Korea and drop out of NPT.

I can't help it:


Ahmadinejad: UN? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, UN!
UN: Mr. Ahmadinejad, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your underground nuclear lab today, but your guards won't let me enter certain areas.
Ahmadinejad: UN, UN, UN! We've been frew this a dozen times. I don't have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK UN?
UN: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN's collective mind. I'm sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Ahmadinejad: Or else.... what?
UN: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
Ahmadinejad: OK, Hans. I'll show you. Stand to your reft.
UN: [Moves to the left]
Ahmadinejad: A rittle more.
UN: [Moves to the left again]
Ahmadinejad: Good.
[Opens up trap, UN falls in]

Jimmah Carter will go to talk to them, and afterward Clinton will include Iran on his 2 month birthday tour.

All is secure.

Well the Iranians are peaceful, so we know they're not hiding anything.
