This was in yesterday's Jerusalem Post. Is in an insider's understanding?:
President Peres to Ted Turner's delegation: "Iran's strength, he said, derived from the weakness and division of the West as reflected in its inability to impose severe economic sanctions to pressure the Islamic Republic to end its nuclear program.
"Peres said Europe was gradually realizing the perils posed by Iran. Europe was always right, but that Europe was always late, he said, citing European attitudes toward Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler as examples of Europe's tardiness. He expressed the hope that Europe would break this pattern with regard to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."
