Ahmadinejad to the World – “Sanction This!”
May 19, 2010 Leave a comment
“While we acknowledge the sincere efforts of both Turkey and Brazil to find a solution regarding Iran’s standoff with the international community over its nuclear program, we are proceeding to rally the international community on behalf of a strong sanctions resolution that will in our view send an unmistakable message about what is expected from Iran,” [Secretary of State] Clinton said.
And still Iran continues to taunt the world with its Nuclear Program. Ahmadinejad is leading the world, especially the United States, around by the nose. It’s the classic game of cat and mouse. The difference is we think we’re playing with a kitten when really we’re dealing with an Iranian leader whose ambition is that of a lion.
So, Iran strikes a bargain with Brazil & Turkey to off load it’s enriched uranium and in return receive uranium fuel rods, which cannot be further enriched. The idea being that low grade enriched uranium is used for fuel and medical programs. A higher grade can be committed to military weaponry.
The deal Iran has struck attempts to guise its efforts of using enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. The international community is supposed to view this as a step in the right direction. A step towards peace and effective downgrading of any nuclear program by Iran. The reality is much different however than what Iran is telling the media. In fact, Iran wouldn’t go on record or commit to discontinuing the enrichment of high grade uranium.
And, then today, as I write, Iran Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi announces:
“By issuing resolution, they would further discredit themselves in the public opinion,” he said on state TV. “Discussions of imposing sanctions has faded away and this is a last effort by the Western countries.”
It’s just as many of us expected. Iran is working to deter, distract, and should be distrusted. Until we have verifiable evidence of its intention to halt production towards nuclear weapon-grade uranium, we need to remain vigilant and cautious. In addition, we need more to impose more than just sanctions. We have a tyrant running that country. That same tyrant wants to ruin ours.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.” The Art of War – Sun Tzu
Our U.S. leaders have the stark inability, no common sense, or lack of chutzpah, to recognize our enemy. They pander to these world dictators to bring about a one world alliance. Clearly though, there are ideologies (Islam in particularly and almost exclusively) aimed at the destruction of the United States. Why would we want to align ourselves with those bent on our fall?
Since we don’t know our enemy, and we refuse to view Iran as a viable threat on the world stage, we are slowly creeping towards the point of no return. When Iran is fully enriched and nuclear weapon-grade ready…it will lash out as does the tail of a scorpion upon it’s prey.
Why don’t we act more forcefully? Why do we continue with the game of international pattycake? Ahmadinejad is proving to the world that he’s a veritable threat. He, as my 3 year old son says, “wears big boy pants!” And, while the rest of the world community is still sucking on a pacifier and wearing diapers, Ahmadinejad is tucking them in for the night in hopes of given the world a rude awakening.
