Implications of nuclear agreement with Iran

…nuclear WMD. And it would think 3 times before launching a strike against Iran. Iran has no interest in committing national suicide by an attack on Israel. Iran has a 100 million people to lose should the inevitable retaliation occur. The biggest hope for peace is the rapid commercial nuclearization of Iran and the region. David PS…I’m Jewish in case anyone wants to know. But Israel should butt the f*ck out of America’s affairs. Brian Mays Rod…

It stopped when Iran started with revenge, showing again that brute force is Iran‘s only defense option. – (US supported) Israel threatened to bomb Iran.

Did Saudi King Abdullah urge attack on Iran to halt its nuclear program or its nuclear weapon program?

…hough we all have relatively short memories, it is an historical fact that Iran did not participate in the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and that Iran maintained diplomatic and commercial relationships with Israel in the face of Arab opposition up until the 1979 revolution. Back then, one of the ways that we aimed to help maintain Iran’s strength was to assist its modernization program. That program included a well-funded effort to develop an extensive do…

Strongly Recommend Disapproval of Attack on Iran

…ng, creating an alternative energy source. Some people have suggested that Iran could build nuclear plants if it only agreed to depend on others to supply its nuclear fuel. If I was an Iranian, I would be deeply suspicious of that offer and look closely at the contracts to identify all of the costs and the strings attached. Quite frankly, nuclear fuel suppliers, most especially those from my own country, have a history of including onerous conditi…

Colin Powell on Meet the Press – September 19, 2010 Re: Iran's Nuclear Energy Program "Trust but Verify"

…ina and everybody else to agree to it, then you might have to live with an Iran, and you might be able to live with an Iran that has a nuclear power capability, but rigid enforcement constraints have been put in so they can’t move up to a weapons grade program and the production of a nuclear weapon. Now, at the same time, what can they do with a nuclear weapon compared to what we could do in return? I don’t think it is–you know, they are intereste…

Iran's nuclear activities should lower oil prices

…plenty of customers in the world that are willing to pay more for oil than Iran can afford to charge its own electric utilities without hurting electricity consumers. Since Iran’s people and government apparently trust their highly educated engineers and scientists – many of whom received their advanced degrees in western universities – to work with leading world suppliers to build safe nuclear power capabilities, it makes sense to move towards us…

Fighting over fuels and markets – dumb & wasteful when we have essentially unlimited energy

…ist groups.Also,the Sunni-Shia split is being exploited and exacerbated by Iran. It is clear that Iran,under the present regime,is bent on extending its power and influence.For what ultimate purpose is unknown however,given the brutal theism of the mullahs,there can be no good outcome.

Recommended reading about Iran

…just spent some time reading Deborah Campbell’s fascinating article titled Iran’s Quiet Revolution. It paints a picture of an Iran that is far different from what you might have in your mind, especially if you have a habit of listening to conservative talk radio. The article is illustrated with some photographs that most Americans might find surprisingly familiar; they portray scenes of everyday Iranian existence that are not terrible different fr…

Translation row – CNN versus Iran

…– CNN reported that the President’s speech contained a statement asserting Iran’s right to nuclear weapons, while Iran is stating that the speech used a word that should have been translated as “technology” instead of as “weapons”.

Wall St. Journal Cover story on Iran's energy shortages

…n in excess of 10% per year for the past several years. When combined with Iran’s slowly declining oil and gas production, the trends indicate that Iran, which now exports about 3 million barrels of oil per day may become a net importer within 10-15 years. This shift will have a dramatic impact on the world’s energy markets, especially if similar trends continue in Mexico, Indonesia, and the UK. Once again, the reality is a bit different from that…
