Time to Deal with Iran

I often go back to the President Bush "Axis of Evil" speech in which he named the three thorns in the side of the U.S. One of them has reared it's ugly head once again. I'm no national security expert, but I will say this a problem that can not avoid for very much longer.

Iran is now publicly willing to provide other Islamic nations with nuclear technology. Iran's hard-line president said Thursday.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the comments after meeting Turkey's prime minister on the sidelines of a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations, according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.

Ahmadinejad repeated promises that Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons, IRNA reported. Then he added: "Iran is ready to transfer nuclear know-how to the Islamic countries due to their need."

Iran has said it is determined to pursue its nuclear program to process uranium and produce energy, despite European attempts to limit it. The United States accuses Tehran of secretly seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
