Clueless Mr. Dominique Villepin and nonsense...

In the slightest chance that one may have doubts on French Premier, Dominique Villepin, being as comatose as his President, one need not further confirmation that this piece reported by Reuters (March 15, 2007). Mr. Villepin states matter of factly, "Iran today knows and the people of Iran today know that they have a choice,". The choice here refers to the action agreed upon by the UNSC P5+1 on the next installment of sanctions against Iran for its apparent refusal to succumb to the wishes of the UN Security Council.

The point that shall be made is not that the Iranian mullahs deserve to be sanctioned; they deserve to be overthrown and done so in the hands of those suffered the most in their hands. The point to be made is that Mr. Villepin and his likes are completely clueless, when addressing the mullahs, about the nature of this dictatorship. The "people of Iran" do not make the decision to have atomic bombs or not; the mullahs do. Addressing the Iranian people in this fashion only adds to their misery and reinforces the mullahs' manufactured assertion for the right for the Iranians to have access to nuclear technology or weapons. The people of Iran have the right to be free. Period.

It is no wonder that the Europeans have turned to appeasers.
