Another Despot About to Come Down?
By NASSER KARIMI
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran vowed Sunday to push forward efforts to enrich uranium and to change its relations with the international nuclear watchdog after the U.N. Security Council imposed sanctions designed to stop the country's disputed nuclear program.
Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the Security Council would regret voting in favor of the sanctions, saying he was sorry the West lost its chance to make amends with Iran.
"I am sorry for you who lost the opportunity for friendship with the nation of Iran. You yourself know that you cannot damage the nation of Iran an iota," the state-run news agency, IRNA, quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
Ahmadinejad also said the United Nations must accept Iran's nuclear program and warned that sanctions would not harm his country.
Note by Jack: Ahmadinejad is not a worldly man and his view of the holocaust gives a hint at his global ignorance, but his determination to build nuclear weapons in the middle east is beyond reason, it's maniacal and it will only have a bad end.
His only claim to political fame has been his ability to create controversy and to a lesser extent to creat hatred within his nation for other nations (US and Isreal mainly). This is a blatant attempt to divert attention away from his own failures at home with Iranian economy. Iran is awash in oil, they don't need nuclear energy, but they do need leadership to manage their wealth. One wonders how long Ahmadinejad can last.

Jack, We can only hope...
Quoting from the Guardian UK, James Lewis over at www.americanthinker.com reports the following:
UN Ambassador John Bolton leaves his position with a parting cannon shot: Formally charging Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
"with inciting genocide because of his speeches advocating the destruction of the state of Israel." It may turn out to be a shot heard around the world.
What if the whole world stood together and said NO MORE to these thugs? Unfortunately too many of us just yawn...until the missles begin to fly.
