Semi-Compromising Mullahs

Somehow, I don't think that this latest hypothetical concession is enough to convince the international community of Iran's peaceful intent.

VIENNA, Austria — Iran has signaled it may grant access to sites linked to possible work on nuclear weapons and other demands from the U.N. atomic watchdog agency to avoid referral to the Security Council, diplomats said Tuesday.

The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said a high-ranking delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency was in Tehran on Tuesday to discuss details of a possible Iranian offer.

Besides seeking access to two military sites, the agency also wants to interview military officials thought to be associated with what Iran calls a purely civilian nuclear program. The agency is also asking for documents linked to Tehran's uranium enrichment program.

I only want one concession out of Iran: complete and total discontinuation of its illegal nuclear program. Short of that, any other half-assed compromise deal is completely and totally unacceptable.
