Well, they sure showed us! We've said for years that Iran was pursuing nuclear technology, but no one believed until Iran fessed up. With every "agreement" reached between the EU and Iran we've said that the proof will be in the pudding, knowing that Iran would only come up with something new.

But Iran sure has shown us for the suckers we are, haven't they? They've proved that no matter how much we whine, cojole, beg, demand, or entice Europe will always consider nuclear technology in Iranian hands not such a bad thing.

Or, are we really the suckers? After all, it's a much shorter flight time from Tehran to Paris, Madrid, and Berlin.

So, at the risk of getting absolutely no response at all:

1) What, if anything should be done about Iran? Does she have a sovereign right to nuclear technology, even a nuclear bomb? (I vote yes.)

2) If so, why is Europe trying to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons? If not, what steps should Europe take to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons? How far should Europe press the issue; all the way to war, sanctions that impoverish and destroy Iranian civilian lives?
