Here is why only force will stop Iran from going nuclear

Well for the skeptics that keep thinking some kind of diplomatic solution can be reached to curb the current mad Iranian leaderships mad dash to building nuclear weapons, I again present proof of why diplomacy in the end will fail. It seems that the very idiots that are shouting the loudest that diplomacy needs to be given a chance, are also the ones that will make sure it will fail miserably:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 — European governments are resisting Bush administration demands that they curtail support for exports to Iran and that they block transactions and freeze assets of some Iranian companies, officials on both sides say. The resistance threatens to open a new rift between Europe and the United States over Iran.

Administration officials say a new American drive to reduce exports to Iran and cut off its financial transactions is intended to further isolate Iran commercially amid the first signs that global pressure has hurt Iran’s oil production and its economy. There are also reports of rising political dissent in Iran.

In December, Iran’s refusal to give up its nuclear program led the United Nations Security Council to impose economic sanctions. Iran’s rebuff is based on its contention that its nuclear program is civilian in nature, while the United States and other countries believe Iran plans to make weapons.

See why unless we can somehow on our own topple the current Iranian regime diplomacy will mean squat? The vaunted UN, the love of all these socialist European nations, has decreed sanctions are to be put on Iran, but the very idiots demanding we give diplomacy the umpteenth chance - after it has failed repeatedly and in an ugly way for the last 4 years - are not willing to do what they preach because of greed. Apparently they are all for sanctions as long as it doesn’t affect their bottom lines. This kind of moronic attitude and the ridiculous moral equivalence that permeates these people, is why diplomacy fails. I bet that a bit of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism, after all Israel & the US are the ones Iran is claiming will be first in their gun sights, plays a role. Like the Chinese, I bet these Europeans are gambling that when Iran goes nuclear they will have plenty of warnings as it will be either Israel or a US city, or maybe some place in Iraq that will go up in smoke. The US is likely to reply with brutal force, and they again lose nothing while gaining. The loss of Israel and/or damage to the US seem to have become bonuses to people that think that the US and Israel are bigger threats to world security than say a nuclear armed Iran, North Korea, Putin’s ambitions to reconstitute the USSR, or the communist regime that still runs China and has real dreams of empire. Thanks for the war you are guaranteeing comes our way Euros.
