Israel News : Jerusalem Post Internet Edition
The secretary of Iran's powerful Supreme National Security Council, Hasan Rowhani, said Iran would sign an additional protocol to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty that would allow inspectors to enter any site they deem fit without notice.
"The protocol should not threaten our national security, national interests and national pride," he said...
I can't wait to see how this will be implemented. "Yes, spot checks, of course...you can check that spot, and that spot...but not that spot over there, or that one there..." Real, or should we expect to see inspectors politely roaming the countryside trying not to offend by being too agressive?

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
Iran intends to behave as Iraq did dealing with Blix; if they send someone else, Iran won't know what to do next.
Only too true. They've seen how this game is played. Too cynical believing that the only reason they're agreeing to this course is that they're so close (closer than Saddam) that it won't matter anyway? No, I don't think that's too cynical by a long-shot, and now they know they've got a bunch of Euro's standing between us and them keeping them safe.
