IRAN WATCH: UPDATE

"Islam must prepare to rule the world... We must believe in the fact that Islam is not confined to geographical borders, ethnic groups and nations. It's a universal ideology that leads the world to justice... We don't shy away from declaring that Islam is ready to rule the world."

--Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

It would seem the only people who don't believe Islam wants to rule the world are non-Muslims. Couple the above statement with the news item below and it becomes fairly obvious, to any rational thinking individual that Iran has become, perhaps, the most dangerous nation on Earth.

Iran removed seals on its nuclear facilities Tuesday, ending a two-year freeze on work there despite warnings from the United States and other countries concerned about Tehran's nuclear ambitions. The United States rebuked Iran for the move, calling it a step toward creating the material for nuclear bombs. British Prime Minister Tony Blair's official spokesman said the international community was "running out of patience" with Tehran.

Both countries, along with France and Germany, have called on Tehran to cease nuclear activities until an agreement has been reached on the scope of its nuclear program.

Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said Tehran was again in breach of resolutions passed by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog and said steps to restart uranium enrichment could not be justified.

"We are profoundly concerned that Iran has decided to restart research and development activities related to uranium enrichment," Straw said in a statement.

Note: Even more frightening is the following statement....


In a foreign policy address Tuesday, French President Jacques Chirac warned Iran it would be committing a "grave error" if it ignored the international community's repeated warnings and pressed ahead with its nuclear program.

Note: For France to couple the term 'Grave' with 'Error' is significant in that France has repeatedly shown themselves to be weak-kneed, and more than a little incontinent in demanding any nation-- Islamic or otherwise --abide by standing U.N. Resolutions.

The world refuses to address this situation at its own peril. There are dangerous days ahead.
