Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had said his country would deliver its final answer that day to a European-sponsored proposal for halting the Iranian nuclear development program.

When a Middle East scholar surmised that the date of that "final answer" held some significance in Persian lore, various observers wondered what sort of "final answer" might Ahmadinejad have in mind.

Considering Ahmadinejad's messianic obsessions regarding Israel, and his country's ill-disguised enthusiasm for bankrolling terrorism in Iraq and beyond, the world shuddered at the possibilities.

Not since Iranian militants stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979 has the attention of Americans been focused this acutely on the former Persia. And for good reason.

Despite three years of European-led negotiations with Tehran to forestall its nuclear program, talks have gone nowhere. Really, they have gone worse than simply nowhere, since the Iranian mullahs and President Ahmadinejad have used those years to continue the plutonium-enrichment processes that ultimately could provide that nation with nuclear weaponry.

The obfuscation continues. Iran's "final answer" came (thankfully) in the form of a 25-page response to the set of incentives that had been proposed by Germany. The response only vaguely mentioned any willingness to discuss Iran's enrichment program.
