Iran rattles saber, rd. VI

Story: " Iran rejected suspending its uranium enrichment program, the main objective of a European Union-led offer of incentives to which the country is due to give a formal reply tomorrow.

``Under current circumstances, the suspension of uranium enrichment is not possible,'' Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, told state-run Fars News.

The Iranian government's reply will be ``very comprehensive and give a suitable opportunity for the West to solve the nuclear dossier through negotiations,'' Saeedi said.

The United Nations Security Council has given Iran until Aug. 31 to accept the EU-led proposal of incentives, and suspend uranium enrichment, or face the threat of economic sanctions."

And once again, we see that diplomatic negotiations don't work worth a darn. Sanctions, embargos, and strong reprimands are about as effective as throwing rocks at a tank.
The only solution to this problem is the agressive use of force to prevent one of the greatest threats to american lives and other innocents in the world.
