Iranian Heavy Water Nuke Plant Goes Online Today
avtchillsboro writes "According to an article in the NYT, an Iranian heavy water nuke plant goes online today. From the article: 'An Iranian plant that produces heavy water officially went into operation on Saturday, despite U.N. demands that Tehran stop the activity because it can be used to develop a nuclear bomb. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated the plant, which Tehran says is for peaceful purposes. The announcement comes days before Thursday's U.N. deadline for Iran to stop uranium enrichment — which also can be used to create nuclear weapons — or face economic and political sanctions.'"
They are an independent country, and as long a they dont go around violating basic human rights who do we, the 'free world' think we are telling them they cant do this?

For renewing my faith in humanity, one lucid mind at a time.
It is not difficult for the rest of the world to see the US Foreign Policy failures in Iraq, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, etc. etc. I agree wholeheartedly that this is an Imperialist operation, funded and supported by Oil Cartels to further fleece the population. Has anyone here heard of Synarchist International? Prescott Bush's progeny are back at it, trading with the enemy. The truth is painfully apparent.
Bush lied, thousands died...impeachbush.org
if I claimed I was emperor just because some watery tart lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!
>>The US doesn't talk directly with Iran. Or with Syria.
No shit. They refuse to recognize Israel and their main goal is to eliminate Israel and the Jews from the planet.
I'll give you a quick history lesson... before MySpace, YouTube and IM... there was a guy name Hitler who wanted the same things as your friends in Iran and Syria. And he almost succeeded.
as to the iranian president, sure he sounds nuts, if you have never actually read any holocaust revisionist information and realised while they havent proved anything fully to my satisfaction (from what I've read/seen so far), they most certainly HAVE raised a lot of doubts, enough to not just label outright as crazy anyone buying into it a little more. Once you realise this, and know a little more about israel than fox news will tell you, he actually comes across as an intelligent rational man. Of course thats just the interview, I have no idea what sane/crazy stuff he has said (or people have claimed he has said) elsewhere
as to israel, I really dont get it. Is racism good? No? then why the fuck are people putting up with a nation state founded on the idea of racism/racial superiority, and not only that, founded on other peoples land? dont give me that "they lived there once" crap, that was thousands of years ago, how about you go donate your house to an american indian. Or someone with some Neanderthal dna. Why was it not ok for apartheid south africa to have separate rules for blacks and whites and oppress/kill/torture etc blacks (whose land they lived on), while its ok for israel to have laws basically making jewish people the only legal human beings in the state? Was Biko a terrorist? Mandella? no they were fighting for what should have been basic human rights of equality and freedom. So why are we calling people defending their homeland against racist violent powerful nations attacking and occupying their land, torturing and killing their families and denying them their rights terrorists?
ah whatever, the few on here that will agree with me already know this stuff, the rest of you will just dismiss it since it doesnt mesh with what you "know" and plug your brainwash 2000 tubes back in. It's like cypher says; "ignorance is bliss".
watch "the money masters" on google video
yes yes, I know that. I'll say it again. All I was saying was that the US could have ignored it, since the US itself was not yet being attacked. This would be morally and politically a bad idea in my opinion, given their allies were being attacked, but nonetheless, it was an option (and the moral argument falls to hypocrisy given the aid being given to israel, a racist violent state occupying other peoples lands illegally). Ah whatever. I tend to think all war is nuts anyway. its not like those involved in the actual fighting ever really have a problem with each other, its just the people at the top, so why not just take out the people at the top? (I know wishful thinking etc etc)

nor can they hire a non-jew legally (at least thats what some documentaries I've seen claim, its not like I've read the israeli legal code (though perhaps I should)) even though it happens anyway because the palestinians are basically an available slave labour workforce, being unable to get decent jobs.
