N vs. Q

IraN resumed work on its nuclear program on Wednesday, making it clear that they have no intention of bucking to U.N. pressure.

Excellent commentary on the matter, as posted here last week, from the Guardian.

Yet, we are fighting a war in IraQ because we were told they had nukes. It turns out they didn't.

Mr. President, with all of our resources being poured into Iraq, how do you intend to deal with the IraN threat? (Sir, that is the one that ends in "N," not "Q.")

UPDATE: A draft resolution calling for Iran to resume full suspension of its uranium enrichment activities was submitted to the International Atomic Energy Agency today.

UPDATE 2: UN atomic watchdog director Mohamed ElBaradei said he would issue a new report on Iran's nuclear program on September 3, adding there was 'a window of opportunity' for more talks between Tehran and the European Union.
