BBruce: "Let me see. You now state that a nation is to be held to treaties that it did not sign"

Iran signed the NPT under the Shah. It's had a major and total regime change since then. Is England bound by agreements it signed with the Pope back in 1350? Saddam repudiated his trial onthe grounds he was still the legitimate leader of his country, for all the good it did him. No way, he was told, there's a NEW regime in force now, so everything's changed and the old rule book has been thrown out and a new consititution drawn up. Seems to me Iran (who is perfectly legally to entitled to do what it is currently doing) is going above and beyond what can be expected of it in opening up to IAEA inspection. Evidently it doesn't matter to the world that Iran signed the NPT well before the Revolution and regime change, and has made it clear that Iran better toe the line, or else....

Projectforanewamericancentury has made it clear that Iran will be part of a new USA colonialism no matter what. If it waved a water pistol in the air it'd be in breach of something or other.
