Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Iran mocks EU nuclear offer
From the above report:
The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has rejected European plans to build his country a nuclear reactor in return for it giving up its uranium enrichment programme.
In a hardline speech in the city of Arak, where Iran's only existing nuclear reactor is being constructed, he mocked the plans being developed by the UK, France and Germany...
"Do you think you are dealing with a four-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?"
And this:
Iranian media reported yesterday that Mr Ahmadinejad was drafting a second letter to Mr Bush.
He seems to have a lot of spare time on his hands for letter writing.
Update: Slate's article about the sort of deals that are apparently being rejected before they are even made is very good.
