An Inside Look At Iran's Nuclear Program

NotBornYesterday writes "On April 8, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited his country's secretive nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz for a photo op. What came out of this visit is a series of photos which have caused a fair amount of interest among western scientists. Shown in the photos are not only some of the inner workings of the plant and current generation of enrichment centrifuges, but also key components to newer generations of more effective centrifuges. Analysts are 'intrigued' not only by the technical revelations in the pictures, but also because Iran's Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar accompanied Ahmadinejad through the facility."

    Given the choice of a world without a USA - or a world without an Iran?

    A world without a USA would be more peaceful and habitable and more moral by anyone's measure.

    When Americans talk about freedom, how can anyone listen, without breaking a sad smile? This is a country with 1% of its ENTIRE POPULATION in prison or jail. This is an acheivement never before equaled in human history.

    When a country is run by a fanaitcal theocracy they do not care if they will be incinerated in turn. They are just doing Allah's will.

    I think the US substantially values the lives of foreigners and human life in general.
    Good point. Why kill random foreigners them when their lives are indeed substantially valuable as cheap/free labor? It is only necessary to kill a few specific uncooperative humans as examples, the rest are better off kept alive and working... at least until further notice.

    How about the nukes in Japan, agent orange in Vietnam, incendiary bombs in Iraq, etc. The US has killed (and is still killing!) people all over the world. That hardly qualifies it for the title of "substantially values the lives of foreigners and human life in general".

    Have you wonder why we have kosher tax on our food? (look for the circle U symbol on all your favorite food and beverages)

    Have you wonder why we have to give $16 billion taxpayer money to Israel each year?

    Have you wonder why the black people still on welfare?

    It's inevitable. It will happen.

    Iran is our enemy, has been since 1979, when they invaded our Embassy (act of war), held out Diplomats hostage (act of war) and threatened them with execution (act of war). Followed by blowing up our Beirut Embassy (act of war), and blowing up the Marine Barracks (act of war). Add the blowing up of the Buenos Aires synagoge (act of war, violation of Monroe Doctrine) and Khobar Towers 1996 (act of war) done by the "moderate Khatami" we can see that where ever Iran can kill Americans they do so. As they are doing now in Iraq (act of war).

    We've responded by pretending it's not happening.

    Regardless, North Korea, and Pakistan have nukes. Ahmadinejad is showing his nuke program to boast and humiliate the US. As Sadat said, all other nations in the area are "tribes with Flags."

    Once Iran has nukes, either/or Iran and Pakistan can hand off a few spare nukes to AQ/Taliban/Hezbollah and nuke America. With impunity. Since each potential suspect can credibly point to the other. So American Cities will die.

    Welcome to the brave new world of nuclear proliferation.

    [Most of the posters here have the brains and maturity of a kindergartner. Yeah Bush sucks. But Iran, where they hang gays, stone women to death, have a death sentence for writing a book (Rushdie) and regularly threaten another Holocaust while denying the first one ever happened is a million times worse. Too many morons let their hatred of Bush blind themselves to the real threat.

    I sure as heck hope we hit Iran's nuclear facilities, keep them away from nukes as long as possible, so if a US city dies, it's obviously Pakistan. Once each can point to the other, it WILL happen morons. Ahmadnutjob made his career executing political prisoners for Khomeni.]
