Iran Ignores U.N. Deadline

   Iran's deadline to stop their uranium enrichment came and went on Wednesday with Iran apparently stepping their process up a notch. This means that more than likely a few more useless sanctions will be levied against them.

"Iran considers that a suspension of uranium would be contrary to its rights, to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and to international rules," the deputy head of Iran's nuclear agency, Mohammad Saeed.

But US State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the UN Security Council should now consider fresh sanctions in addition to measures targeting its nuclear and missiles programmes imposed by the UN in December.

   A six-page IAEA report says that Iran had went from research-scale to industrial-scale production of enriched uranium.

   With the way that the Bush Crime Family has pretty much trashed the middle east along with any hope of peace amongst most of the countries, I'd be building my own nuclear protection also. Iran has to know that if they have nuclear weapons and they use them, life is over for that country. I see no reason to fear Iran having the weapons to defend themselves with against some of the more aggressive nations in the middle east and elsewhere.
