When Talking Can Kill
[Jerusalem Post] Caroline Glick - The West's latest offer to appease Tehran constituted a major achievement for the Iranians. It promised civilian nuclear power plants, economic assistance, new airplanes, agricultural assistance, hi-tech transfers and a freeze on the expansion of economic sanctions against the nuclear-weapons-seeking mullocracy. In exchange, the Iranians weren't even required to end their uranium enrichment activities. All they needed to do was promise not to expand their current enrichment activities. As David Albright, president of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security, explained to Newsweek, at their current, known level of uranium enrichment the Iranians are producing 1.2 kg. of enriched uranium a day. At this enrichment level, they will be able to produce a nuclear bomb by next year. So the international community's willingness to accept continued Iranian uranium enrichment at current levels is a clear signal of the international community's willingness to accept a nuclear-armed Iran.
