Iran And Nuclear Weapons

Vice President Dick Cheney said in a statement over the weekend that Iran would not be allowed to go nuclear:

"Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions," Cheney said in a speech to the Washington Institute for Near East Studies.

He said Iran's efforts to pursue technology that would allow them to build a nuclear weapon are obvious and that "the regime continues to practice delay and deceit in an obvious effort to buy time."

If Iran continues on its current course, Cheney said the U.S. and other nations are "prepared to impose serious consequences." The vice president made no specific reference to military action.

"We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon," he said.

I'd be very interested in knowing exactly who these 'other nations' are, and if they're serious about helping us out or not. If they're planning to be allies like we had going into Iraq, I'm not sure they're allies at all.

Regardless, I just wanted to make you aware of the latest...

There's my two cents.
