Iran: "If suspension is included in the package, it won't be considered at all. The position of the Islamic Republic of Iran is clear. Preconditions can't be raised for any halt or suspension [of uranium enrichment]."
Bush and Sarkozy were informed of Iran's rejection as they went into a morning meeting and reacted:
Sarkozy: "If Iran gets a nuclear bomb, that is totally unacceptable. Our position will not change....As far as military nuclear access is concerned, this is 'no' on the part of the international community."
Bush: "I'm disappointed that the leaders rejected this generous offer out of hand... Our allies understand that a nuclear-armed Iran is incredibly destabilizing, and they understand that it would be a major blow to world peace."
The Neocon: Bush's legacy depends almost entirely on whether Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons when he leaves office, or on whether he took action to halt Iran's march to a nuclear bomb. From the prospective of history, that issue will far outweigh both Iraq and Afghanistan. If Bush leaves office having neutralized the Iranian bomb, history will judge him well. Should Bush leave office with Iran on the brink of nuclear weapons, his legacy will be judged harshly indeed.
All the short-term whining about Iraq... etc... are not matters of lasting historic significance in comparison to the prospect of a nuclear armed radical Islamic terrorist state.

THANKS
GOOD LUCK
Yes, the Bush legacy is suffering what I believe to be overly harsh, propagandist, nonsensical critiques, but if he were to allow Iran to get the bomb, then you're right. That's a huge deal, that too many on the Left can't recognize. Oh the irony.
