BERLIN, Germany (CNN) — Britain, France and Germany have called for the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog to refer Iran to the Security Council over the country’s atomic ambitions.
In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United States strongly supports the move and joins the European Union “and many other members of the international community in condemning the Iranian government’s deliberate escalation of this issue.”
If I were Iran, I wouldn’t be scared or threatened or the least bit concerned with this. After all, the UN Security Council is a useless enity that cannot stop a rat from eating it’s own poison.
Iran broke U.N. seals on its nuclear enrichment facility this week, insisting it only wants to develop a civilian nuclear power program in accordance with international law. But several Western countries fear Tehran is intent on developing a nuclear bomb.
Foreign ministers from the European Union’s three biggest nations — the so-called EU3 — met Thursday following Iran’s moves to restart its nuclear program.
It’s time to take care of this mess ourselves. To even suggest the UN handle such matters is just asking for another Iraq/Saddam affair: Resolution after resolution being ignored, tampered with, played with. Sure, all the peace nic pickers will demand DIPLOMACY FIRST, but it doesn’t work with regimes bent on making sure Hell comes to Earth in the Middle East. Iran has been a thorn in the world’s ass long enough. I’m sure some states are making deals with the leaders of this menace nation (Germany, France, Russia). It’s time to forget about them too.
“Our talks with Iran have reached a dead end,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told reporters after meeting with his British and French counterparts, Jack Straw and Philippe Douste-Blazy, and EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana.

Straw said the group decided to call for an emergency session of the board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to vote on referring Iran to the U.N. Security Council.
This talk reminds of the cartoon program Charlie Brown- remember when the teacher would talk- that goofy rumbling we would hear? That’s what all this talk is. Useless. Unproductive. And dangerous. Giving Iran more time to build up it’s desired weapons.
The ministers did not say exactly what action should be taken by the Security Council, which could impose sanctions.
Iran could care less about sanctions and would use it against the liberal pansies of the world…like those who blamed the US for the Iraqi sanctions bringing death and misery to the children…a bunch of bulloney for sure. Sanctions are less painful than a slap on an iron wrist.
The decision by the EU3 marks the end of more than two years of diplomatic efforts to convince Iran to abandon its nuclear program.
Yeah…2 years of diplomacy that has accomplished nothing. The world needs to stop tip toeing around these rogue nations with intentions unknown but potentially deadly to millions. Playing these stupid games like we did with Iraq should be a lesson learned. Time to take out the leadership of Iraq and keep the path to peace wide open in the Middle East.
