Iran to Host Own Nuclear Summit Saturday
VOA News ^ | April 14, 2010 | Elizabeth Arrott

The Iranian government is hosting a nuclear conference Saturday and Sunday in Tehran, in counterpoint to the Washington summit this week to which it was not invited. The meeting comes as the U.S. pushes for a fourth set of sanctions over Tehran's disputed nuclear program, a drive that appears to be gaining momentum. Looking ahead to the Tehran meeting, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted that his country is doing its best to work with world powers. In an interview on state television, Mr. Ahmadinejad said "we are actually after cooperation and negotiation. We still are.” He added that Iran was willing to deal with a formula that protects Iran's rights, includes its independence, dignity and honor - and excludes the nuclear issue. It's that kind of mixed message that frustrates so many. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful, civilian purposes. But by refusing to comply with U.N. nuclear agency requests, it deepens suspicions that it seeks nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivers a speech during ceremony marking Iran's National Day of Nuclear Technology in Tehran, 09 Apr 2010

Two nuclear summits of different contrasts: Obama's nuclear insecurity summit is about disarmament of America and nuclearizing terrorist groups; Ahmadinejad's nationalist nuclear summit is about nuclearization of Iran and planned destruction of Israel.

“The Iranian government is hosting a nuclear conference Saturday and Sunday in Tehran, in counterpoint to the Washington summit this week”

The difference is, at the Iranian conference they are actually going to build a nuclear bomb!

I guess threatening to detonate nukes in American cities to kill "peaceful, civilian" people counts.

One of the reasons Saddam Hussein became such a pain in the butt was that he wanted the mantle of leader of the Arab world. He intentionally would poke a sharp stick in the eye of the US just to get attention.

Sound like a familiar pattern? Personally I hope this current saga has the same happy ending.

You’ve got to hand it to the Iranians. They sure know how to ridicule Obama. But hey, not to worry. Obama will just take out his frustration on the Israelis.

Based on activities today in Israel, I hope there is nothing left of Iran by Saturday except a huge smoking hole.
