VIENNA (Reuters) - World powers are demanding that Iran immediately mothball a uranium enrichment site it hid for years, heightening fears it is secretly planning to build atom bombs, in a resolution drafted by the U.N. nuclear watchdog.

It voiced "serious concern" -- a diplomatic euphemism for alarm -- over its cover-up of the Fordow project and said it was in blatant breach of U.N. demands for an enrichment suspension.

But IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei suggested to Reuters in an interview on Wednesday the new resolution could backfire by aggravating Iran's siege mentality, boosting nuclear hardliners.

Maybe the jobs and livelihoods of those who are supposed to bring about the control of Iran should be more directly linked to their success, or lack of it. Give ‘em a year or two to produce concrete results, if they haven't reached a certain goal then out with them and in with a new group. Clock starts running all over again.

Why should they hope to be successful? If they are then they're out of a job.

Much more of life in government should be tied to getting the job done, not just putting in one’s time and then retiring.

I know, it's dream.

Paper tigers without America’s lead, and right now we don’t have a leader.

They voiced “serious concern” If Iran doesn’t respond, they’ll voice “serious concern” again......and again.....
