Iran is dead set on building up a nuclear arsenal, having an atomic bomb and building enough warheads to put on top of each of its new Chinese Rockets it has purchased many of which capable of 1200 miles of range. Negotiations with Iran are not working at all and any proposal demanding that Iran immediately stop enriching uranium will not fly and is "invalid," stated Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It seems the UN is having no luck and the EU European Union isn't either as many foreign leaders met in Brussels to discuss likely future actions. Including but not limited to trade sanctions, incentives, political levers and of course the future military action, which will be necessary to pre-empt such a nation, which sponsors international terrorism from having nuclear weapons. It would seem that incentives or bribes might work, but then this is simply rewarding bad behavior, which sets a bad precedence in the World. The World must face the facts that Iran will build Nuclear Weapons until or unless someone or a group of nations uses force and decides to do the right thing to stop them. Which unfortunately seems to be about the only possible current solution to the crisis and nuclear weapons manufacturing crisis in Iran right now. We must consider all options, but in the end it is inevitable which one must be chosen so think on this in 2006. |
