Two weeks after the UN warns Iran not to enrich uranium, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has 'good news'  for the world regarding Iran's nuclear program. "I am officially announcing that Iran has joined the group of those countries which have nuclear technology. This is the result of the Iranian nation's resistance," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a televised address.
He also added that the West "has to respect Iran's right for nuclear energy."
Now that he has answered the will of the world with a middle finger, what's a civilization to do? Remembering North Korea, and knowing Ahmadinejad, there are but two sides to this dilemma, you have to trust Ahmadinejad when he says he only wants to enrich uranium for electricity production, like the Clinton administration trusted North Korea to not make nuclear weapons, OR you believe he will continue his pursuit to make nuclear weapons. The doves pictured in the background setting for his speech is 180 degrees from his intent.
White House reacted by saying that Ahmadinejad's statement takes Iran in the wrong direction toward meeting UN agreements. And although they are in diplomatic mode towards resolving the issue, Bush also said that nothing is off the table.
