Too late: Iran goes nuclear

But impotent, hamstrung world insists on dialogue, still

Way back in 1994, a year before he was assassinated, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin raised the flag on Iran, warning that the Islamic regime in Tehran was on a fast track to replacing the USSR as the #1 threat to world security.

Instead of heeding and acting to quell that menace, however, the world insisted that it was the Israeli-Arab conflict that posed the greatest danger to mankind; the most likely trigger for World war III.

For more than a decade, the international community, led by the United States, has poured massive resources into resolving this conflict, but in a way that holds no chance for peace.

To the contrary, the very process that has seen Israel coerced into ceding control of chunks of its national homeland to the Palestinian Arabs has directly promoted the peril.

For every Israeli pullback under the ?peace process? has been taken by the Muslim world as proof that the Jewish state?s ultimate replacement by an Islamic Palestine is assured.

To that end Iran, chief champion of the ?Palestinian? cause, has preached and proclaimed that the subjugation of Israel under Islam is guaranteed, and that those in the vanguard of Allah?s army, equipped with mass destruction weaponry, would implement his will against the Jewish state.

So, rather than strengthen Israel against the threat from Tehran, the Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr. administrations have weakened their Middle East ally through ?land-for-peace? while feeding the Muslim monster with tidbits of its preferred meal.

And now Iran has gone nuclear.

A triumphant President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad praised Allah Tuesday and declared the Islamic Republic was well on its way to becoming a member of the Nuclear Club.

The defiant demagogue, who has a freshly-carved out track record of making outrageous statements and threats, especially against Jews and Israel, is believed to have timed his announcement to try and deflect a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning his country.

Like mindless marionettes, the Western response to this belligerency has been to commit, not to immediate action, but to more dialogue.

At the Pentagon, said he would not engage in "fantasyland" speculation about a possible U.S. attack on Iran, though he said Said Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld: Although the Bush administration is concerned about Iran's nuclear ambitions, ?The United States of America is on a diplomatic track.?

And delusional individuals in the Israeli leadership concur:

Thus Shimon Peres, former architect of Israel?s deterrent nuclear program who morphed into a superdove said that while Iran's announcement was "worrying and frustrating," patience should be exercised in dealing with it.
