#1 Diplomats are like terrorists.

You have to promote diplomacy to have a job.

What sort of clear answer does he need.

The Iranians have been telling all of the limp weenies in the EU to pound sand for about five years.

The Iranians will negotiate for about five more years and as soon as they have a working nuke, they'll break off talks and a major city somewhere in the "Infidel" west will disappear.

When that catastrophe happens, the nations of the west should take all of the "diplomats" and politicians that kept nannering for negotiations out and hang them........or better yet, parachute them into the still radioactive ground zero that their procrastination created.

Unfortunately, I am not an optimist about nuclear proliferation. You will notice that I said "when" not "if" about a nuclear terrorist attack.

When I was at the Prefix 5 school at Oberammergau back in 1974, we had a Brit Navy Commander say one day in class that his biggest fear was some nutjob in the middle east getting one of 'these' (pointing at a mockup of a tactical nuke)and then we would 'have all hell to pay' for it.

#5 AP has an article which says

A U.S. decision to bend policy and sit down with Iran at nuclear talks fizzled Saturday, with Iran stonewalling Washington and five other world powers on their call to freeze uranium enrichment.

In response, the six gave Iran two weeks to respond to their demand, setting the stage for a new round of U.N. sanctions.

This may be a game of Texas Hold-em, rather than the usual endless diplomatic blather. After all, President Bush went the U.N./international route before invading Iraq in 2003.
