The US officials keep banging on every occasion that Iran has been lying consistently, yet they have not come up with any evidence. Not a single lie by the Iranians has been named. Yet, Israel has been a country of lies since its inception, and its leaders have been taken "seriously" by the United States. Well, I have a proposal for Mr. Obama, who used to be the darling of those who believed change was possible in the US: Have Israel freeze the settlements, not dismantle the existing ones, which they should, and I believe firmly that they eventually will, but just stop further expansion. Better yet, have the Israeli government only "declare" that they are serious in the pursuit of the peace process, and as a first step they are freezing the settlements. If Obama can't even achieve this, what nerve must the US policy makers have to demand from Iran to accede to the will of the so-called "international community" while Israel is sitting there with more than 200 nuclear bombs under its seat? Iran has said a million times for those who want to listen: They are not interested in making a nuclear bomb simply because it is not in their national interest and it is useless. They only want to develop nuclear technology, which is the right of every signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. The West has absolutely no proof of any weapons development activity by Iran, yet they keep yelling ad nauseum the same empty propaganda. If I were the president of Iran, I would never yield to the wolf-cry of the professional warmongers myself.

If Israel refuses the inspections of its nuclear sites, Iran has got the right to mantain the same behaviour. If the US deny this right, it means that their proposal to realize a joined missile shield with Russia hides a willing of prevarication.
