#1 Thank goodness the Iranian mullahs are such morons. If they made even the least attempt to appease the IAEA inspectors they could have nearly unfettered leeway to pursue the covert fabrication of nuclear devices.

Fortunately, the eggshell ego of Iran's mullahs perceives any and all external pressure as the most humiliating of threats. The corresponding vehemence and belligerance they display in return would be comical if these lunatics weren't such a threat to regional stability.

Instead, Iran's obstinate refusal to cooperate in any form will merely translate into yet another solid reason for UN approval of military intervention. Forthcoming or not, the UN's benediction is really of no consequence. Iran routinely makes it more than clear that they are in dire need of having their nuclear facilities blown off of the map.

The only thing I ask is that these sites are hit, air raid shelters and all, during hours of maximum occupancy and activity. We need to exterminate all of Iran's nuclear science community post haste.
