The article which follow s
by the JPost Staff and the AP in the Jerusalem Post contains the Joke of the Year – Not the article – It is excellent – But Iran’s statement th at
it intends to resume Uranium Enrichment IMMEDIATELY. What a Joke! When did they ever stop, once they knew how to do it? I doubt if any of the world leaders ever believed for one minute that they completely stopped the process. Slowed down, yes, because of having to conceal what they were doing, but stopped, never! And, oh my goodness, only Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria opposed
it! Who would ever have suspected them to do such a thing!
The German Chancellor’ s remark
s on the Nazi rise to power are quite appropriate.
The following usurps were extracted from the first part of the article.

Iran to ‘Immediately’ Resume Uranium Enrichment
JPost Staff and AP, THE JERUSALEM POST
February 4, 2006
Iran announced on Saturday that it would “immediately” set into motion steps to restart full-scale uranium enrichment and curtail the inspecting powers of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The statement came just minutes after the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-nation board voted on referring Iran to the UN Security Council. The motion was approved by 27 of the member states.
Five nations abstained, and only Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria opposed.
The decision to refer Iran to the Security Council sparked varying reactions among the world’s leaders. German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged the international community on Saturday to act without delay to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, saying that Iran had “blatantly crossed the line.”
The chancellor compared Iran’s nuclear policy to the Nazi party’s rise to power in Germany, warning that in the past the nations of the world refused to take a stance against concrete threats, enabling some of history’s greatest catastrophes.
Merkel also condemned Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his refusal to recognize Israel. “Any president that questions Israel’s right to exist and questions the Holocaust cannot expect any tolerance from Germany,” she warned.
Influential US Senator John McCain told America’s allies Saturday that the military option could not be ruled out if diplomatic efforts fail to stop Iran developing a nuclear bomb.
“Every option must remain on the table,” McCain told an international security conference. “There’s only one thing worse than military action, a nuclear armed Iran.”
