"Iranians are neither worried nor uncomfortable with the resolution... we will celebrate our atomic achievements in February."
"From Sunday morning, we will begin activities at Natanz -site of 3,000 centrifuge machines - and we will drive it with full speed. It will be our immediate response to the resolution,"
"Before going to war it is possible to achieve what we want without war, if the world will take the right steps," continued Peres.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said it sends "a clear message to the Iranian leadership that Iran's nuclear program is total unacceptable and the community of nations will act to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining nuclear weapons."
"We don't think this resolution is enough in itself," Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said. "We want the international community to take further action. We're certainly not going to put all our eggs in the UN basket."
Enjoy the remaining days of 2006. It looks like 2007 will be an interesting year.
It appears that the vertically-challenged Ahmadinejad isn't a big fan of the U.N. I guess he and I have ONE thing in common.
Hey, not to worry, John Kerry wants to go over there and "dialogue"! Everything is ok now. We all know he was the nominee because of his foreign policy experience!
It's not in my interest to live with Iran. Nuclear or otherwise.
Stupid, stone-age BS artist. Everybody has to have something...and he has his hot air. Some day, he will pay for pulling the tiger's tail!! Wadda jerk!!

Indeed. And . . . interesting in the classical Chinese idiomatic sense.
C'mon, Achmad. Have the spine to be specific.
Every day another threat. If someone got in my face every day threatening to kill me and my family and everyone I know it wouldn't take that long for me to react, what the hell are we doing?
This guy is begging to be killed, taunting us.
Sanctions rarely work for the purposes for which they were imposed and should only be used to modify non-violent threats.
If someone is threatening violence, the correct response is overwhelming force, not sanctions.
So the UN has imposed sanctions...will they seriously enforce them? I think not. Iran will have a nuke by the end of 2007 and only Israel or the US acting on their own will be able to stop it. The new Congress has already capitulated to the Arab world so I don't think the US is about ready to do anything except plead for UN protection.
Wonder why France/Germany/Russia/China went along with the vote for sanctions? They usually veto everything.
Unless they realize that the sanctions are a useless gesture anyway and they can score points with us without really doing anything.
.....and then we are going to turn the bombs on ourselves and get our reward of 70 virgins each, early. See how smart we are, you western infidels?
The world is acting like it has an Iranian knife to its throat and Iran is acting like it has a knife to the world's throat.
Nothing will end this but military action. Nothing.
Thank you for your concern with your attempt at setting our directives strait Imanutjob, however trust in the idea that we can figure out what is best for us without your impetuous rhetoric as a national leader.
