The Bright, Smoldering City on the Hill

Via the NY Times:

Iran has told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it will refuse to answer questions about a second, secret uranium-enrichment program, according to European and American diplomats. The existence of the program was disclosed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad earlier this month.

The diplomats said Iran had also refused to answer questions about other elements of its nuclear program that international inspectors had focused on because they could indicate a program to produce nuclear weapons.

Iran continues down a comically transparent path towards nuclear weapons, while threatening with extinction a country estimated to have well in excess of 100 nuclear weapons of its own, along with multiple delivery systems that it can deliver at will.

Do you ever get the feeling that the mullah's cries for Armageddon are all too sincere?
