Iran has publicly indicated that it is now refining uranium to 20% U235. While 90%+ is required for weapons, only 5% is required for power generation.

If this is not a precursor for weapons, what is their purpose?

Shadow Minister.Under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty,is Israel allowed to have 200 nuclear weapons?

Here is a reference:

"Dick Fuld, the former chairman of Lehman Brothers, will on Tuesday deny he knew about Repo 105, the technique the bank used to shift as much as $50bn (£33bn) of liabilities from its balance sheet, and blame a "perfect storm" for the bank's collapse."

Presumably you don’t believe Dick Fuld when he claims he knew nothing about Lehman Brothers shonky accounting practices.

Presumably you never believed anything Stalin or the Soviet nomenklatura said.

So why would you believe the murderous mullah mafia that runs Iran? Especially when there's ample evidence they ARE working on acquiring nukes?

I think you need to ask yourself some hard questions Foxy.

What is it that makes you take Khameini's puppet, Ahamdinejad, at his word?

Foxy,

Your enemy's enemy is not always your friend. Sometimes he's just another enemy.

And yes, sometimes we have enemies whether we like it or not.

The real danger with Iran acquiring the capability to nuke America is that it will cause Saudi Arabia to lose faith in America's de facto nuclear umbrella. They will feel the need to acquire nukes of their own to protect themselves against Iran just as de Gaulle did to protect France against the possibility of a Soviet invasion.

Then we'll have two countries whose official ideology is a death cult building nuclear arsenals.

People tend to forget that Iran's nuclear program started because they were spooked by Saddam. They originally went the nuclear route to protect themselves against Saddam ruled Iraq.

Yes Steven,and who created Saddham? The good old USA/Israel corporate/political clique,the very oligarchs who murdered him.

Who supported Pol Pot in Cambodia who murdered one million of his own people thus enabling the deaths of two million more via disease and starvation? The good old industrial military complex financed by the banksters.

The moral of the story is that we can be at the receiving end of this murderous mentality if we allow injustice to become the norm.

Dear Steven,

Calm down.

You're reading all sorts of things into
my posts that aren't there.

I was referring to the Easter Bunny and your
claim that he doesn't exist. That's why
I put in the smile, so you'd get it.

My apologies, that I didn't spell it out for you.

Foxy

I did get that you were joking.

But I am serious in asking why you of all people, who would presumably have seen right through any lies emanating from the Soviet regime, are prepared to believe transparent untruths from the Mullah Mafia that runs Iran.
