the Iranians are looking for trade and security guarantees, as well as access to peaceful nuclear technology.

If the Iranians are serious, they'll abandon all nuclear efforts, including the "peaceful".

"The Truth About the EU"

Good synopsis of the evil EU (which is now part of the Eurasion Alliance, consisting of Russia, Red China and the EU...and still growing!).

crapola. without the big, bad american wolf next door in iraq, the iranians would have never rushed into the arms of the whores from the EU in the first place . . . and don't let anyone tell you different.

Read "America and the Eurasian Alliance Part 1 and 2" (not to mention Nemets' other articles on Newsmax) for a proper wake up call--TTS

It has only been 13 months since the Iranians made - and broke - their last "deal" regarding atomic energy . . .

So I would hardly think that this particular agreement puts any meaningful pressure on the U.S.A. in practical terms . . .

But wishful thinking (fantasy) never ends . . .

You have to admit that this author has a point. After all, the course Old Europe is taking is exactly what we did with North Korea in the mid-90's, and just look how well it worked.

Kind of makes you wonder what the heck is wrong with "Bush's conservative administration", doesn't it?

[Dozer3]

They're stalling, no doubt.

Stall em, stall em, stall em.

Then the next thing you know they have nukes and you can't touch em.

This is a Clinton-like scenario. Iran will play the nice guy for about twelve to eighteen months...and then, when a real independent nuclear inspection team shows up...there are signs they simply hid their entire program. The EU wants to send a team to question this...but Iran won't allow them. The UN then makes a big huffy statement...and then Iran says...well, you can come but we really don't want to discuss the matter. By this point, Iran will have over 100 nuclear bombs, and the EU will sit there and debate about how to settle this without military action. Iran will suggest a settlement of $100 million per bomb as adequate, and the EU will actually think about it...of course, this means a Iran Nuke tax on each European...but wouldn't that be so much better than a war? So they will pay them off, and get a promise that Iran won't make anymore. Eighteen months pass...and suddenly some Iranian nuclear scientist shows up in the UK, claiming of 300 more nuclear weapons. Oh my...Iran lied again? Oh my. The name of this whole thing should be "a cast of fools".

Exactly.

Well, if we agree to this French brokered deal, we should hold Chirac and France personally responsible for when the Iranians cheat and produce nuclear weapons. If we have to go to war with Iran, France needs to be included in that war as an enemy due to their blatant collaboration in Iran's nuclear weapons proliferation.

"come up with a new policy"

Iran needs to come up not with a new policy, but with a new government. Until that day, our new policy can be - complete naval blockade. ("But that is a warlike act" - so is supporting terrorists in Iraq).

[JasonC]

Oh we can touch them all right. It is not a matter of if, only of when, and of the cost. Don't imagine for one minute that Iran getting nukes will result in peaceful deterrence. It will result in nuclear war.

VIENNA - The EU deal that got Iran to freeze key nuclear activities puts the United States on the spot since Washington must now decide whether to continue confronting Iran as an enemy or join Europe in trying to engage it, analysts and diplomats told AFP.

One wonders how much impact the U.S. military lurking in the area had on Iran making this agreement with the EU?

Aside, who in their right mind would trust Iran?

[Paleo Conservative]

What if we bombed all their nuclear facilities?

[ApesForEvolution]

Yeah, I think we should go along with the Leftists (American Communists), the Bribed (EU) and the Iranians on this one.../XXXSarcasm

Parallels: SpRectum and Iran BTTT

There ain't no way in 1,000,000 years that President Bush let Blair hook'im on this horsesh*t...no way.

Tony might think he's getting Jerusalem for the little 'pali' TransJordanians - he may THINK he's brokering peace with Iran .. but in the end, it can't happen.

What is it with 3rd Wayers, anyway? (Clinton, Barak, Blair and Schroeder with a ChIraq cheese eating surrender monkey playing with himself in the background...)

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

If France et al isn't going to declare war and attack the United States, then who cares?
