Surprise, Surprise, Surprise

It seems that even though European diplomats on their return from Iran assured us that they had brought "peace in our time", and that Iran would voluntarily give up its nuclear bomb program, they were somewhat mistaken. The LA Times tells us today that Iran continues its program and is doing everything possible to cover it up. This development should have been obvious to anyone, except it seems the Europeans. It's highly unlikely that those British, French, and German diplomats didn't understand that Iran will continue its program, the question then is why do they continue down this path? They have a lot more to fear from an Iranian bomb than the US does - Iranian missiles will not be able to reach the US for a long time, yet can already reach parts of Europe.
