Mofaz warns sanctions on Iran must bite by year's end

The international community has until the end of the year to make sanctions work against Iran, Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz warned during strategic-dialogue consultations here this week.

He addressed options for financial pressure on Iran that can be taken - primarily by the Americans and Europeans - independent of the UN Security Council, which has already passed two resolutions applying very limited sanctions on the Islamic Republic for its uranium-enrichment activities.

"Sanctions must be strong enough to bring about change in the Iranians by the end of 2007," Mofaz told Israeli reporters, after meeting on Wednesday with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns.

Channel 2 reported on Thursday night that Mofaz had told Rice there were six months left for sanctions to bite, and that all options, including military action, were open after that. There was no independent confirmation of this report.

Yup, Lets let Israel take them out and stand back. If they are really Gods people, then they will prevail without our help. If not, oh well, the middle east will become a smokin hole and our oil will gain some added content, radioactivity. We'll have to wear lead suits to get the oil, but I'm sure Chevron can afford those.

NOT. Maybe, there you go, but I'm not part of this "WE".

I wonder if they will be able to find a PM willing to be remembered alongside hitler.

If history teaches us anything it is that the answer likely is yes. Chimps with nucleur weapons, that truely is the human condition. Have a nice day.
