What Does It Take To Get Isolated?
Humiliate the entire planet by blowing off their nuclear deadline and threaten to exterminate six million Jews? Let's not get hasty!
The world should not isolate Iran over its nuclear program, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said in an interview published Tuesday.
