Have They Ever Been Unclear on This Issue?

I don't understand the amazing commitment we in the West have for negotiating with Iran to end their nuclear programs. Iran has always been clear that talks won't have an effect on them.

So let's actually listen one more time to the nutballs who run Iran today:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that Iran's right to nuclear capabilities was non-negotiable, ahead of proposed talks with major world powers on its controversial atomic program.

Western diplomats have made clear they want Iran to address their concerns about Tehran's nuclear program in talks that the United States, France, Russia, Britain, Germany and China have offered Tehran later this month.

"We have repeatedly said that our (nuclear) rights are not negotiable ... We only hold talks to resolve international problems ... to help the establishment of peace," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech in central town of Qazvin.

Iran's grudging willingness to talk extends only to providing a forum for the West to accept and recognize Iran's nuclear path. Period.

Iran will go nuclear unless we stop them. And talking will not stop them.
