Does Iran need Nuclear energy?

[Sidhe]

Nearly all, just one facility might be needed. And you can always hide paper trails. Criminals have been mastering that for decades now. Iran is not an entity that is to be underestimated. Underestimation was a mistake Bush did, underestimating the threat of terrorism.

Like Sadaam

Of course you know that uranium hexaflouride can only be imported from China, we're not talking subtle trails here and the Iranians are seriously relying on Russia and China for technology. We're not talking heroin here, this is a material that leaves clear evidence wherever it is produced and factories that require hundreds of technicians to be trained many of which are trained by outside contractors not to mention the actual contracting itself, you can be pretty sure that the US knows the location of every facility in Iran, hell you can find this information on the internet.

Again though if you think weapons inspectors are easy to fooled then look to Iraq ,these guys are getting pretty good at their jobs.

I'm not questioning the could, just the have, and that's why I want weapons inspectors to move in to monitor it. The US seems to be using rhetoric like are moving towards nukes, have a program designed to make nukes, but to be honest they have nothing but rhetoric to back it up and neither do you. Persistent no: just expecting evidence, I don't make judgements based on propaganda.

All you need for nuclear reaction is big chunk of uranium. First nuclear reactor was built in the backyard using bricks. Getting there is not that much of problem if you have resources.

Getting there well, now that is big big thing and hard to hide.

Oh and if you think you can hide paper trails , you can hide them, but need to document it, in triplicate .

I by no means meant that the weapons inspectors were incompetent, just that they are blocked and stalled every step of the way, preventing them from getting anything done.

As for North Korea with nuclear weapons... *shudders*
After those missile tests, I would not be surprised if they blew themselves up.
The danger is, what if, like with the missiles, they, out of incompetence or megalomania, manage to shoot one near someone else and start a war?

 

[HawkeyeGS]

does the US, does anyone? I'm not expressing any view on the whole iran situation. All i am doing is pointing out the stupidity of the title. It tries to think for you. One could say they have done ok without nuclear energy but the same could be said about any country. The question is should Iran be allowed to get nuclear energy if it increases the risk of them getting a nuke weapon? If not how do we stop them? IMO I am not thrilled by their advancement and I am not thrilled at the west's attitude that since we don't like them so much they can't have one. Under western logic we could deny any country the right to use fire in the interests of national security.

Isn't Iran the country the country supposed to be using inequality?

By progressive and democratic you mean free fair and upen elections for gov. representatives not hand picked by the religious leaders. The youth is progressive but they are under the thumb of the mullah controled republican gaurd. What happens in Iran when the there are mass demonstrations demanding more rights?


If Iran was just going for power why are they building cascading centrafuges to refine plutonium and uranium past levels sutable for nucaler power but just right for weapons?

Stop, no seriously, just stop.

Maybe he misunderestimated it.

 

[Hitro]

No idea if they need nuclear energy but they definetely need nuclear weapons to deter an invasion of their country.

sure, iraq didnt have them, and look where that got them. i know for a fact, that if bush really thought saddam had a few nukes (thats real WMD boys and girls) he wouldve never invaded.
