Keep Him Talking

The Iranians are upset that America and France (!) have agreed that it is pointless to talk to Iran when Iran clearly doesn't want to negotiate anything but the terms by which they get nuclear weapons:

The United States and France rejected Iran's request for more negotiations on the Islamic republic's nuclear program, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying Wednesday "there's not much to talk about" after Iran resumed some atomic activities.

As European countries pushed ahead with efforts to have Iran brought before the U.N. Security Council for its nuclear activities, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused them of trying to deprive Iran of peaceful technology.

"We are asking they step down from their ivory towers and act with a little logic," Ahmadinejad said. "Who are you to deprive us from fulfilling our goals?

"You think you are the lord of the world and everybody should follow you. But that idea is a wrong idea."

Earlier, Iran's foreign minister said he did not believe the country would be referred to the Security Council, which has the power to impose economic and political sanctions. However, diplomats say the council is unlikely to take those actions since China and Russia, two veto-wielding members, oppose referral.

Tehran's defiant tone came as the United States and France rejected Iran's request for a resumption of negotiations, saying Tehran must first suspend its atomic activities.
Interesting talk of logic coming from that whack job again. Logically, we need to remove his regime. His goals involve smoldering craters on our soil or our allies. And if Ahmadinejad keeps talking, he'll give us the excuse to crater his regime first.

UPDATE: As I said, at least Ahmadinejad is willing to speak. And we don't even need to connect any dots to figure out what he intends for us. Just listen to him talk. And refuse to look away reassuring yourself that he doesn't really mean it.

One way or another, the mullah regime in Iran has to go. I'm willing to debate how. With a deadline in the very near future to resolve the debate.
