And another thing!

Since I’m in the mood to rant, I might as well continue…

This whole Iran negotiation thing is a joke. Iran is NOT now, NOT ever going to stop its progress towards developing nuclear weapons. Why would it?

The US wants the UN to guarantee that if Iran does not obey, sanctions will be imposed. And who gets hurt by sanctions. Not Ahmadinebeigejacket, who will be busy attending the World Cup. No, it will be ordinary Iranians. These are the same ordinary Iranians who live their lives just like we do, who like the West and would like better relations with the West. So let’s punish them! Maybe we can starve them! What a brilliant plan!

Wake up. Iranians aren’t going to rise up and fight against their own government while they are being punished by the West. If anything, they’ll stand with their own government under these circumstances. People have their pride. They will say to themselves: “Yeah, Ahmadinejad’s a crazy bastard, but he’s OUR crazy bastard.. So pffft to you, America.”

For Iran to give up the nuclear hunt, the country would have to say to the world that yes, they understand that nuclear weapons are only for “good” countries, and they are a “bad” country, therefore they shouldn’t have weapons. How likely is that? What people in their right minds would ever view themselves like that. None. I assume they are going to bear down and fight this out, and I don’t blame them at all.

If my neighbours were Pakistan, Russia, India and Israel, all armed to the teeth, I’d be building myself a nice little bomb, too.

UPDATE: from cnn.com: Iran has rejected a U.S. proposal to join multilateral talks as offering no "new and rational solution" to Iran's nuclear case, according to Iran's state-run news agency.
I'm shocked...shocked! Was there ever a plan more designed to fail?
