Iranian Nuclear Announcement

The Iranian government has announced that not only have they NOT stopped enriching uranium (big shocker I know), but they've increased it exponentially. They now have according to various sources, approximately 3,000 centrifuges. President Ahmadinejad said that the enrichment was "irreversible" and they will defend that right "to the end."

Ahmadinejad also warned that Iran would "reconsider its behaviour" if it was provoked by world powers. He did not go into further detail. "We recommend to them that they had better respect nations' rights."

What the hell do you all think that means?? We've already acknowledged their right to nuclear power. However, they don't have a right to nuclear weapons and they certainly don't have the right to support terrorist organizations. Why do you think we offered to enrich the uranium elsewhere and let them have that nuclear fuel? Why do you suppose they refused that offer? They want nuclear weapons. There is no other explanation. The time for further sanctions is now. Complete sanctions however, are all that will truly get Iran's attention. Cut off their oil revenue, travel for certain people, freeze bank accounts, do everything under your power to keep these people from getting a weapon.

If China and Russia allow Iran to get a weapon, there will be no choice but to allow the Israelis to attack Iran's nuclear facilities and let China and Russia's economy take the hit from the increased price of oil. Let China and Russia feel the pain of irresponsibility on the world stage if they choose to go that route.
