#1 Cash flow problem, Iran. Must be bad if the Russians refuse to work for ya. Peaceful solution to the plutonium production crisis, so far. I like it. Let's extend the squeeze to the petroleum sector. Only trouble is that the EU will keep trading with Iran, and if the MMs don't pay, then the EU taxpayer will cover. No problem.

Just do not lecture the US about morals.

#3 "Just do not lecture the US about morals."

Paul, I'm trying to figure out how the EU can lecture about something they know nothing about.

Oh, wait - it's the EU. Nevermind.

#4 Wait till the Iranians need to import gasoline at market prices to continue to sell it domestically at $0.37 per gallon.

#5 Don't get yer minds in a twist, Ladies. It is just the EU equivalent of a Zen koan. Get beyond it, and you can see clearly forever, LOL!

#7 In possibly related news, DJ offered a hudna today:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran would only halt its uranium enrichment program and return to negotiations if other Western nations do the same. "Justice demands that those who want to hold talks with us shut down their nuclear fuel cycle program too," Ahmadinejad told a crowd of thousands in northern Iran one day ahead of a U.N. Security Council deadline. "Then, we can hold dialogue under a fair atmosphere."

#8 Putin. Our financial advisor told us not to sell you things on credit.
Ahmadinejad. Your financial advisor is a Jew!
Putin. That's why we have things to sell.
