DJ Iranian Pres: Iran Can Stand Any UN Sanctions -USA Today . NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a U.S. newspaper that Iran can withstand any sanctions imposed by the United Nations over Iran's nuclear program. USA Today said its interview with Ahmadinejad is the first with a U.S. newspaper since he took office. The paper said it talked with Ahmadinejad on Saturday; it published the interview Monday. Ahmadinejad also said "we do not have any problem with the people of the United States," USA Today reported. Instead, he aimed his criticism at the Bush administration, which may ask the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions. "They choose to threaten us and make false allegations, and they want to impose their lifestyle on others, and this is not acceptable," Ahmadinejad told the paper. USA Today says Ahmadinejad blamed the U.S. government for estranged relations. For example, he said, Washington blocked Iran from sending aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina. "The way they have treated our people here has left no ground for talks. They think no one can live without them, and this is a wrong notion," he told the newspaper. "They think they can solve everything with a bomb. The time for such things is long over." Ahmadinejad also said the future of the Palestinian territories is "the most important" issue for the region, USA Today reported. He also told the paper that Israel was founded on "propaganda regarding the Holocaust," and said Palestinians shouldn't suffer as a result. Ahmadinejad has called for a conference in Iran on the Holocaust. He said Saturday he would accept testimony from Jewish survivors of Nazi death camps, but "impartial" investigators should also re-examine the tragedy," according to USA Today Palestinians are killed "every day with the Holocaust as a pretext," and they've been denied "peace and security" by Israel, USA Today quoted him as saying. "I don't know who is annoyed by revealing facts," he said. -By Sam Coley, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-4378; hbsglobaldesk@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires February 13, 2006 14:30 ET (19:30 GMT) Copyright (c) 2006 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.- - 02 30 PM EST 02-13-06

They way this will be enforced is the same way ZIP codes were enforced. At first it was purely optional. Then later, the post office simply started returning mail without a ZIP on the premise that a ZIP was required. Note that they can return it to you without a ZIP, though <g> With chip implants, they will retain the alternate resource access system (card key, keypad, etc.). But later the alternatives will be taken away, and the employee will lose access without the implant. And therefore they will lose their ability to do their job. It will of course be their choice to give up their job, or get the implant and continue maintain the ability to do their job.
