... but why can't iran have nuclear power?
oh. because they might try and make a nuclear weapon.
... but why can't iran have nuclear weapons?
i mean... the us was very keen for nz to go with nuclear power / allow nuclear weapons on our territory. in fact... our refusal on both counts was a fairly significant factor in our losing our free trade agreement with the us and our being demoted from 'friendly' to 'neutral' military wise.
the us has nuclear weapons.
the uk has nuclear weapons.
why on earth shouldn't iran have them?i think the stance is a little hypocritical
(and even more so given that they are wanting POWER not NUKES)do you think it is possible for their to be a free election where the ruling class are freely chosen by the people... AND where the people and ruling class simply don't want to be on friendly terms with the us?
seems to me...
that that is what is going on here.
hmm.
but maybe i'm missing something.
pleased to note that bush has been considering the 'unhealthy dependency' on middle eastern oil. by 2025. interesting. i do believe... that is when antartica comes up for grabs. thats not in the middle east ;-)
ps. it isn't 'our' environment it is 'the' environment. not just for us but for our future generations too. and for years now... the us has been f*cking it up for the other present citizens of the world too... still. it would be good to see a shift away from dinosaur fuels. but... ethanol sounds expensive to me...
