Two Faced Mullahs

It appears that The Hague is proving once again to be useless when it comes to holding terrorist regimes accountable for breaking international law.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Iran threatened on Thursday to resume its uranium enrichment program if talks with European nations this week fail.

Speaking after a meeting with his Dutch counterpart, Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said Friday's talks were critical.

"If talks with European Union are not successful tomorrow, negotiations will collapse and we will have no choice but to restart the uranium enrichment program," Kharrazi said Thursday.

France, Britain and Germany have been negotiating with Iran, seeking guarantees that it won't use its nuclear program to make weapons, as Washington suspects. Tehran insists the program — kept secret for two decades — is only for peaceful energy purposes.

Iran agreed in November to freeze uranium enrichment, but insists the move is temporary.

Allow me to once again translate the Iranian rhetoric into plain, tangible English.

"Yeah, okay, so we pretended to stop enriching Uranium in November, but it's only temporary; we have the right to do it, even though it breaks international law, and when these negotiations fall apart, we're going to keep doing it... But if we don't get what we want from the European Union, and the talks fail, we'll resume enriching Uranium openly. So basically, you Western infidels are damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Dig?
