Iran warns France over comments
2006-02-17
Iran called on France on Thursday to adopt a more diplomatic tone to ease international tensions over the country's disputed nuclear programme after French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said Iran was pursuing a clandestine military nuclear programme.
"Yeah! Button yer lip!"
"I suggest Mr Douste-Blazy to use a diplomatic tone and avoid increasing the tension (over Iran's nuclear programme) by making such comments," Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani told state television. "His motivation for making such comments is unclear to us. But adopting a logical stance towards Iran's nuclear activity, better serves the interest of the region."

And I suggest Mr Ahmadinejad do exactly the same thing. Ratcheting up the rhetoric in the manner in which Mr. Ahmadinejad has done since being elected to office in Iran does not help the diplomatic situation and current crisis regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions in any reasonable manner.

But I guess it's too much to expect that these maniacs should toe the same line as they want us infidels to.

Iran calling anyone's comments "undiplomatic." Coffee came out of my nose.
