So Much for "Soft Power"

The Eurosnots still refuse to take Ahmadinejad seriously, so he (correctly) interprets what they call "a package of incentives" as being patronized.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday rejected a possible European offer for incentives, including a light-water nuclear reactor, in return for allaying fears about his country's nuclear program by giving up uranium enrichment.

"Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?" Ahmadinejad told thousands of people in a speech in central Iran.

Can't say I blame him, although when you peddle fairy tales about "peaceful nuclear power," you really can't get upset when Europeans insist on believing it.

But don't worry, Americans and Israelis don't buy your fuzzy-bunny bullshit, and one or the other is gonna drop-kick your freakin ass back to the 7th century where you so desperately want to be.
