An important article on Iran's record of broken promises is available on the AEI website. Written by AEI resident scholar Michael Rubin, it details what should be obvious, that the Mullahs simply delight in deceiving the infidels, and trick us whenever they get a chance. In the coming months the useful fools of the Left and Islamism will flood the media with the idea that talks with Ahmadinejad will solve the threat of Iranian nukes. This article provides a useful factual corrective to such naive folly.

Working agreements with Tehran might be possible, but only under the most stringent and transparent inspections. Otherwise we can only trust them to deceive. Any agreement without complete transparency only makes them more dangerous.
