All’s that has been done about Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons is hand-wringing and cheap talk. The appeasement has now born fruit:

Iran has restarted uranium enrichment work, UN diplomats have said.

They said it had begun feeding uranium gas into centrifuges - a first step in a process that can produce fuel for nuclear reactors or bomb material.

Think about a nuclear-armed Iran. Its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged that Israel be “wiped off the map,” has denied that the Holocaust ever occurred, called for Israel’s Jews to be moved to Europe (ethnically cleansed), and has planned to host a conference to “prove” that Hitler’s extermination of Jews (and gypsies and gays) was a “myth.”

Just as frightening is the fact that Ahmadinejad views himself as the “Mahdaviat:” the “rightly-guided one” who will be “the restorer of religion and justice who will rule before the end of the world.” He believes this as his radical Muslim theocracy pursues nuclear weapons technology.
