Erm...well, that didn't work
Iran has rejected the latest European proposals for resolving concerns over the country's nuclear programme.
The US had backed the package, which includes a proposal to let Iran develop a civilian nuclear programme if it halts uranium enrichment activities.

Yet all these facts are simply ignored because the Bush administration has unsubstanitated claims that the Iranians are pursuing nuclear weapons technology. Its just not how things go. The World barely believed the United States when it was proving how Saddam had WMDs. Atleast with Iraq we were shown "evidence". This time the World simply wont trust the Americans again.

As for the above it would seem as if Europe is just as intent on Iran suspending activity as the U.S. is though, they are just not being as vocal about it. Why else would they be in these negotioations? Something weird is going on here for sure. IMHO-Looks like another show to sell another war to me, just better produced this time.
Whats that? Are those drums I hear...........

I always had suspicions that the Iranians probably were going nuclear but until I see proof I wont start saying they are. The Europeans could very well just be helping the Iranians help themselves with concreting the fact that they are peaceful in their nuclear programme. Maybe the Europeans learned that the Americans/British will push ahead with invasions with even the most marginal "proof" of WMD's. This way the Europeans can stave off any invasion based on lies.

I don'nt know about you, but if a nuclear nation was threatening me for the last fifty years, and I stumbled upon nuclear technology- I would tell them whatever they wanted to hear, so long as it bought me enough time to research and develop a bomb. If Iran has not done this, then they are foolish as a nation and deserve extermination (half serious)

I dont know though, like I said the whole thing seems rotten to me.....
"Is it me...or are those drums getting louder?"
Who ever said that the NWO are backing off on a War with Iran are pretty much correct. The rhetoric has changed in Washington and I feel the Iranians will get the time needed to produce nuclear weapons - if that is their aim.

I hope we don't go to war with Iran but........
If you remember , we (the US) said we were going to give weapons inspectors in Iraq the time to do their job as well...Then Mr. "Uncle Tom of the Century" hit the security council about mobile biological weapons facilities powered by stolen flux capacitors, or whatever.
And look where we are at now. Sometimes I think we won't go to war, sometimes I do. Oft I am reminded about how no one thought hitler would take on the eastern front.....I could see Iran being our ëastern front"
I hope not though.
