Here we go again....Saddam-Style Rope-a-Dope

Reuters is reporting that Iran has denied a U.N. request to inspect an additional site for nuclear weapons.

Iran rejected a request by U.N. nuclear inspectors to return to its Parchin military base, where Washington suspects Iran might have conducted tests linked to nuclear bomb-making, the U.N. atomic watchdog said Tuesday.

Inspections play a role in deterring the development of nuclear weapons in that they raise the costs of developing them. It would be folly to expect inspections to do much more.
