The EUnuchs Surrender Again

If Iran gets the bomb, Dubya can thank his good buddies in the EU:

France, Germany, and England have spent two years trying to talk the Iranian terrorist regime out of its nuclear weapons program. That is, of course, what Iran's program is designed to do -- build nuclear weapons, not electric power -- as even the Washington Post had to admit. Last week the negotiations reached their inevitable and comprehensive failure when Iran announced the resumption of uranium processing at its Isfahan nuclear facility. The EUnuchs' reaction was consistent with their strategy. They reneged on their promise to demand that the UN's embalmed nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, pass a resolution reporting Iran's violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to the UN Security Council for consideration of sanctions. To understand why they didn't we must listen to Hosein Mosavian, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator. In an interview last week he said that Iran had already maneuvered the EUnuchs into a promise to block any effective UN action against the birth of nuclear terrorism.

In an interview with Iran Television, Mosavian revealed that the EU-3 have committed an act of appeasement that, by comparison, renders Neville Chamberlain's 1938 Munich agreement with Hitler a masterful act of statesmanship. Mosavian said, "During these two years of negotiations, we managed to make far greater progress than North Korea. North Korea's most important achievement had to do with security guarantees. We achieved the same thing a year ago in the negotiations with the Europeans. They agreed to give us international guarantees for Iran's security, its national rule, its independence, [and] non-intervention in its internal affairs, [as well as] its national security, and for not invading it." There is no denial of Mosavian's assertion from the EUnuchs. Silence is an horrific proof.

The enormity of the EUnuchs' action cannot be overstated. They have unilaterally given Iran more than the North Koreans have always demanded and never received: a guarantee against military and UN diplomatic action to stop their nuclear weapons program. Their concession to Tehran is a de facto agreement to enable the world's principal terrorist nation to reshape not only the Middle East, but the entire world. If Iran becomes a nuclear power, it will -- as its one-time leader, Rafsanjani, advocated -- use those weapons on Israel. It will threaten to use them against American forces deployed anywhere in the Middle East, and be able to deter American military action against it and its terrorist proxies. It will hold Europe in thrall to its nuclear threat, and arm its terrorist proxies with those weapons to attack any nation that opposes them. The world will be safe for Islamic terrorism -- and for nothing else -- if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.

Of course, John Kerry would have just dropped off a nuclear reactor to the mullahs while wearing his magic hat, but that doesn't excuse Bush's inaction here.

If Iran gets nukes, we lose the War on Terror. It's that simple.
