Peace In Our Time!
Neville ElBaradei, excuse me, I mean Mohammed Chamberlain, sorry, having trouble with this … UN nuke chief hails “good progress” with Iran. Guess where. Xinhua:
MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) — The UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Saturday that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been making “good progress” to solve Iran’s nuclear crisis.
”Good progress” has been made in finishing the outstanding issues on Iran’s controversial nuclear programs, ElBaradei told a group of high-profile diplomats at a key security conference in the southern German city of Munich.
ElBaradei is expected to issue a report around Feb. 20 on IAEA’s inquiry into Iran’s nuclear activities.
The UN nuclear chief urged western nations to start direct negotiations with Iran, instead of using sanctions and military threats, to solve the crisis.
”Confidence building can only be attained by direct negotiations,” ElBaradei said.
You know the saying: History doesn’t repeat. It rhymes. Cheap doggerel, by the look of it.

El Baradei is one of the guys who was flattered to receive a carpet from “the Persians” with his likeness woven in.
(there’s a heckofa use for Allah given carpet weaving talents !)
Also, El B is wined and dined by the Persians whenever he steps foot in the place.
What is it with these “UN” affiliated agencies and folks (Kofi Annan types) that forever do the same eternal dance on the world stage ?
I’d like a different dance partner or at least some new steps.

I’d say he’s a sellout, except that his loyalties were never to us anyway.

History will repeat itself. Say in about 40 - 60 years hence people will look back on the carnage and ask how did they (us) let this happen when they had the opportunity to squash it early on.

You can say two things for Neville and his pals. First, they thought nothing could be worse than the Great War, and they were trying to prevent a replay of that. We now know there are worse things than war, like genocide. Second, they did not know how it would turn out. We do know how it turned out. They were wrong but made a somewhat logical (albeit flawed) case. We have no such excuses for this stupid, shortsighted pusillanimity.
