Yesterday before a national audience Iranian strongman (and president) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, announced that his regime had enriched uranium and was joining the nuclear club of nations. This can mean only one thing: its too late to stop Iran. Iran’s nuclear weapons program continues to proceed unabated, while nations in Europe, North America and Asia sit back twiddling their thumps. The irresolute response of the international community serves as yet another victory for tyrants everywhere. First North Korea, then Iran and soon another rogue state with designs on expansion and conquest.

The Iranian situation is all but lost, short of a massive assault, the Iranian program simply cannot be stopped given its scale and pervasiveness. No amount of “diplomacy” will convince the Iranians to withdraw from the precipice, especially considering that developing nuclear weapons was their ultimate goal in the first place. Even if the US and its “allies” resolved to attack Iran, the result would be massive terror the likes of which the world has never known. This combined with the fact that the backers of the Iraq war have been racked across the coals has leftists have employed the “Goebbels effect” to its fullest potential perpetuating the Big Lie that Iraq was not pursuing WMDs. In fact, it is the Iraq war, which most likely hastened Iran’s nuclear development as a deterrent against regime change in that nation. No doubt the Benedict Arnold-esque response to the war in this country has given new inspiration to the Iranians, as fear of a US attack subsides.

Even today in the wake of Iran’s latest nuclear revelations, there is no consistency or commitment to take action among the so-called international community. China and Russia remain steadfast opponents of any punitive action taken against Iran while the EU3’s credibility has been all but destroyed after over 2 years of meaningless, appeasement centered negotiations. The Iranians have all but admitted that their strategy in ongoing negotiations with the EU had been to stall for time as it continued its nuclear research, now we see the fruit of those negotiations and soon to be nuclear armed Iran with the capability of proliferation on a massive scale. The world will soon regret this day.
