Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that Iran's continuing refusal to come clean on its nuclear program has left the international community "little choice" but to impose new, tough sanctions on Tehran.
In congressional testimony, Clinton said Iran's failure to accept the Obama administration's offers of engagement and prove its nuclear intentions are peaceful had given the U.S. and its partners new resolve in pressuring Tehran to comply with international demands through fresh penalties.
"Litlle choice"? Is she serious? has she not been paying attention? Of course they have a choice. The sainted international community has chosen to ignore Iran's drive for nuclear weapons so far. They can still do so.
Indeed, the thugs and nuanced but cynical thinkers of the international community may think Iran getting nukes is a potential three-fer. Iran may nuke Israel, ridding these community members of those pesky Jews; Israel will respond with nukes, ridding the world of those pesky nuclear-armed mullahs in Tehran; and everyone can condemn America for not stopping the slaughter, taking us down a peg! The Belgian foreign minister might even shed a tiny tear, while signing the criminal complaint against President Obama. And every NATO member will head for the exits in Afghanistan in protest. Win-win-win!
Now that's hope and change the international community can embrace.
