What's Under Kerry's Turban?

During the first presidential debate, Kerry made this remark, with regards to Iran:

"I think the United States should have offered the opportunity to provide the nuclear fuel, test them, see whether or not they were actually looking for it for peaceful purposes," Kerry said in a critique of the Bush administration's handling of Tehran's nuclear program, which the Iranians claim is only for civilian purposes.

Isn't fantasy fun? This is a major problem with leftists. They think that people basically are good, and with a little Yankee logic and reason, they'll see the light. Problem is, that's complete bunko. Even a cursory examination of ancient or recent history belies this gibberish.

The London Financial Times reports that, according to "unnamed diplomats and a Kerry adviser," top EU officials from Germany and the Netherlands are lobbying the Bush Administration to adopt John Kerry's position on Iran and its nuclear program. High-level meetings were held with both the White House and the Kerry campaign last week.

Since the EU is a hotbed of socialism, isn't this reason enough for a rejection of Kerry's position?

More on Iran:

Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has urged his country's weapons developers to step up work on making a nuclear bomb, a U.S. official said, according to Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service.

According to the official, an authoritative source in the Iranian exile community has stated that Khamenei met recently with senior government and military leaders on the nuclear weapons program.

Khamenei told the gathering, "We must have two bombs ready to go in January or you are not Muslims," the official said.

Strange. All this time, I thought they just wanted the nuclear program for civilian purposes. Now I'm confused.
