That is fine, but hasn't Russia offered to do this (ot something similar to this), only to be rejected by Iran? That tells me they don't want a solution to this, they want conflict. Be it political, economic, or military, they want this to come to a head. A nasty head of any kind. Their reasoning is two fold. To provoke the west and to whip their constituents into a psychotic frenzy against us, like Hitler did.
But what it boils down to is this, either they are researching peaceful uses of nuclear power or they are not. And since they have no interest in Russia's offer, I have to believe that they are doing research for a bomb, in which case they will never, ever agree to be monitored.
I don't like nor would I be inclined to support military action, at this point in time. And I would love to see Russia and China both get involved in this and us stay out.
While that could be an option, initially. I have serious doubts that would be successful in the long run. I doubt China cares much, as they are the only ones not affected by jihad. They don't believe that it can or will happen. to them.
This Iranian president really believes that he can bring the world to the final conflict, with Islam winning. Whatever anyone decides to do, they need to do it soon. Standing around just talking about, talking about it, isn't going to solve a damned thing.
Sorry to bother you with an irrelevant comment, but did you send me an e-mail? I received a message, saying that an e-mail from "LASunsett@aol.com" failed to reach me.
If it was you, I suggest 3 e-mail addresses: "info@newglobal-america.org", "YHY03501@nifty.com", and "rossk@newglobal-america.org". One of them will receive your message.
The important thing to know before calling for sanctions is what the worst case scenario is. And them be willing to take the brunt of it, if it does have a profound effect.
"Iran does not have nuclear fuel and they are a ways off, we have some time to develop a strategy."
But tell me, how can anybody be sure?
I am sure you took a history class or two at Cooper Union. Surely you agree that Europe has had a knack for procrastination on things of this nature, in the past. Knowing that and not having access to any intelligence, one can only surmise that when Europe is ready to do something, that means there is something that NEEDS to be done.
Europeans tend to want to keep the status quo, as long as they can. Nothing wrong with patience, when there is time and the opportunity to do so. But when the point is reached that waiting it out, is not going to solve the problem but only exacerbate it, you need a Plan A, B, C,and maybe D, E, and F. And you need to be willing to implement them.
As for Plan A, I hope the EU, Russia, and China can persuade them to cool their jets. I am not the slightest bit jealous in them taking some responsibility, in the world community. Not one bit. We have had to do it way too often, during the course of history. I will be cheering them on, hopeful they can avert a real disaster here. But I won't hold my breath, either.
We need real results here, it isn't a game. We do NOT need some BS deal that will smooth things over for a while, until they get pissed off and start the threat factory again.

Mr. Ducky,
What would be your solution?

Gindy,
You may be right on that. But who knows?
