See the bolded area above....
Yeah I see it.
Here's the point I am making...using your defintion, Iran can call those nations ROGUE nations, too.
It is an inflammatory adjective which tells us NOTHING real.
Vienna: The UN's nuclear watchdog said yesterday Iran had failed to meet a February 21 deadline to suspend enrichment of uranium, exposing Tehran to possible new sanctions over concerns it hopes to produce an atomic bomb.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report Iran had installed two cascades, or networks, of 164 centrifuges in its underground Natanz enrichment plant with another two cascades close to completion.
This amounted to an effort to escalate research-level enrichment of nuclear fuel into "industrial scale" production.
"Iran has not suspended its enrichment-related activities," said the confidential IAEA report.
By ignoring the deadline, Tehran reaffirmed its rejection of a mid-2006 offer by six world powers of talks on trade benefits provided it halted enrichment, a process that can yield nuclear power plant fuel or bombs.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "deeply concerned. I urge again that the Iranian government should fully comply with the demands as soon as possible and engage in negotiations with the international community so that we can resolve this issue peacefully."
Gulfnews: Iran defies IAEA deadline
Yeah, understood.
Much of the world is pissed at Iran for developing nuclear weapons.
They don't care.
Neither did Pakistan, India, France, Russia, or Isreal when we demanding that they stop building their nuclear weapons.
Were they all ROGUE nations because they didn't give a shit what world opinion was?
Or are only Iran and N. Korea called ROGUE nations because right now they are the nations that we know are thumbing their noses at world opinion?
