U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has raised the prospect of "serious consequences" if Iran were found to be working toward developing a nuclear weapon. Last week, the Bush administration announced harsh penalties against the Iranian military and state-owned banking systems in hopes of raising pressure on the world financial system to cut ties with Tehran.
ElBaradei said he was worried about the growing rhetoric from the U.S., which he noted focused on Iran's alleged intentions to build a nuclear weapon rather than evidence the country was actively doing so. If there is actual evidence, ElBaradei said he would welcome seeing it.
"I'm very much concerned about confrontation, building confrontation, because that would lead absolutely to a disaster. I see no military solution. The only durable solution is through negotiation and inspection," he said.

With respect to Iran, there's never been any evidence to suggest that Iran is building anything but a nuclear power plant which it has a legitimate right to be doing.
Once again, the Bush regime is left without a valid reason to be attacking Iran.
But I do agree with you on Iran.

not invaded another country since the late 18th century -- is intent on
provoking WW III is preposterous. That doesn't stop the MSM yet again acting
as willing dupes for Bush's war policies, dutifully helping to prepare the
ground for an attack on Iran, just as in Iraq.
The country which truly has the potential to start WW III is the US, with an
economy 68 times larger than Iran's, defence spending 110 times greater and
a long history of intervening in other countries - having invaded or bombed
over 20 since 1945.
Canada must help stop this madness.

"The important thing to remember, Blix said repeatedly, was that Saddam was cooperating with the inspections, despite the difficulties they create for a leader."<br />
<br />
In any event, even if Saddam had not cooperated (which according to Hans was not the case), there is no excuse to the fabrication of evidence to back up the false assertion that Saddam had WMD's, and it's all a moot point since we know that the US government assisted Saddam in acquiring what weapons he did have. The hypocrisy is very ripe, and the obvious war crimes committed by the US slap the face of the UN, since it has shown itself to be powerless before the mighty USA which repeatedly breaks international law with impunity.<br />
<br />
Given the US government's history of lying and of committing wars crimes, whatever it has to say about Iran is most likely just another series of lies. The fact is that the US has absolutely no credibility in these matters.<br />
on a serious note though the puupets are not reponsible for the puppetmasters
The finacining all was comes from the international banks
Com'on people the documents are accessable for those who want to read them
everything under the banks is there playing field. it is much like the Greek Gods or greed gods take your pick looking down on what they have created to manipulated it and use like pieces on a board
sheeesh!
