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.'"

    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.
