Criticism of Iran raises some questions
Your Jan. 11 editorial, “Getting tough with Tehran,” contains some curious points. You talk about “good-faith offers” made to Iran; by inference, one of those offers seems to be the one by Russia to reprocess uranium. That is the same Russia, of course, that just two weeks ago was the big bad wolf blackmailing Ukraine over gas supplies -- yet somehow, Iran is supposed to trust President Vladimir V. Putin’s government. Curious.
Even more curious is the list of good examples given: Brazil, Argentina, South Africa. One country with a nuclear arms program is conspicuously missing -- Israel. An unbiased observer might think that Israel’s nuclear arms might be of more importance to the question at hand than the behavior of Brazil, but not The Times. Curious.
