Lastweek,thenewIraniangovernmentofPresidentMahmoudAhmadinejadbasicallytoldtheinternationalcommunitytogetlost.ItresumedresearchanddevelopmentactivitiesthathadbeensuspendedduringthetalkswiththeEuropeans,stillclaimingthatitsnuclearprogramwasentirelypeaceful.AsGer-manChancellorAngelaMerkelmadeclearonhervisittoWashingtonthismonth,eventhosemostcommittedtoadiplomaticsolutionwithIrannowacceptthatdiplomacyhasrunitscourse,andthetimefordecisionandactionhasarrived.
