Iran Is Galloping toward Nuclear Weapons
[Ha'aretz] Ari Shavit - The Iranian clock is currently ticking at the rate of three kilograms of enriched uranium per day. If one fine day Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announces he has a nuclear bomb, the world will be a different world. Even if we assume that Tehran will behave rationally and refrain from using its doomsday weapon directly, the very fact that it has nuclear weapons will cause the entire Middle East to go nuclear. A nuclear Iran means a nuclear Saudi Arabia, a nuclear Egypt, a nuclear Turkey and a nuclear third world. Today, in Geneva, the diplomatic confrontation between the Western world and Iran is entering the home stretch. This time, the outcome must be different. The moment the talks have exhausted their usefulness, the Western powers must impose immediate, aggressive sanctions on Tehran.
