When You Play with Fire...
(Harvard Crimson) Editorial - In a vitriolic speech to the UN General Assembly, Iranian President Ahmadinejad declared Iran's inalienable right to enrich uranium and develop nuclear power. While it is important to respect Iran's sovereignty as much as possible, and it does have a right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to use peaceful nuclear power, Iran's history and motives demonstrate that allowing it to inch any closer to its goal would be to risk far too much. Iran's recent rejection of a very reasonable EU proposal to supply it with nuclear technology as long as the EU retained control over the actual nuclear material confirms that Iran has no intention of stopping with peaceful technology. The international community cannot allow Iran's intransigence to go unpunished once again.
