In an item earlier today about Iran and the notion that President Bush is overreacting to that nation’s nuclear program and relationship with Shiite radicals in Iraq, I said that Iran’s president is open about his country’s quest for nuclear weapons. I wrote rashly and in error — he has never said any such thing, only saying that he is seeking nuclear power for peaceful purposes. Of course, why the nation with the world’s third largest oil reserves would deliberately seek to have the international community vote sanctions against it so that it simply could have some nice clean nuclear energy is unclear, as is that nation’s decision yesterday to expel U.N. arms inspectors. But wrong is wrong, and I was wrong.
