Iran on Sunday rejected a resolution by the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency that put it one step away from Security Council referral, calling the move "illegal and illogical" and orchestrated by the United States.
Some 180 lawmakers also denounced the resolution and called on the Iranian government to scale back cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
I"m sure that when you are used to complete wussies on the other side of the negotiating table, a minor sign of resolve is actually illogical.
But I find it illogical that the Iranian lawmakers react to the IAEA's concerns that Iran is not cooperating with the IAEA and is in fact pursuing nuclear weapons by declaring they will openly cooperate less!
If we were dealing with a logical world, we'd JDAM the Iranian mullahs and the world community would applaud our action to keep the nutballs of Tehran from having nukes. I wish logic was involved. How freaking logical is it to hope the mullahs will act nice once they have nukes or that the mullahs are not pursuing nukes?
The article notes:
Diplomats from countries backing the resolution said it set Iran up for possible Security Council referral as early as November, when the board meets in regular session.
So what's the deal? I figure we need to overthrow the mullahs in the fall when summer driving is over yet before winter heating needs kick in. We need a season when energy needs are lighter in order to deal with a temporary disruption when the revolution kicks in with our support to knock the mullahs out.
Are we counting on the revolt taking place before November referral in order to give the new Iranian government the ability to hold off international sanctions by admitting the prior regime's deceptions and cancelling the nuclear weapons programs and inviting the world in to confirm nuclear arms programs are demolished?
It isn't Iran with nuclear power that I fear, it is the mullahs with nukes that are a danger.
Let the Iranians without nutballs in charge have reactors. Heck, with the right to do so they may decide it makes little economic sense to carry on with this path.
But ending the mullah regime is step one. I cannot believe we are not planning to overthrow the mullahs. That is illogical.
