Stop Iran's Push For Bomb

Nothing has been done so far to give the Iranian regime a compelling reason or interest to stop its relentless push for the bomb. Yet it must be stopped. So if military intervention is to be avoided, a second - and increasingly flimsy - notion must be altogether abandoned: the idea that the U.N. is the sine qua non of legitimate action in the international arena.

Hope now rests with the United States and the EU to act swiftly, decisively and independently to ratchet up their own sanctions efforts, and to apply their own severe pressures.

With French President Nicolas Sarkozy as EU president, now is the time. The stakes couldn't be higher - for Israel in particular (though by no means for Israel alone).

For at the very moment Ahmadinejad denies Iranian ambitions to build nuclear weapons, he simultaneously reiterates their intended objective - to see Israel wiped off the map.
