I view the hysteria in this country over Iran's nuclear energy program with amusement.
Here
we are holding the largest stockpile of NUKES on the planet--AND A
HISTORY OF USING THEM--telling the rest of the world who can and can't
have them.
To say this is hypocrisy at it's height is a gross
understatement. It's out there in the stratosphere of hubris and
arrogance. People forget that without NUKES, we would have had several
more world wars after WWII ended.
If Russia had no nukes to DETER AMERICA, we would have been at war in a WEST against EAST conflagration.
Iran
needs nukes beyond the obvious deterrent capability against Israel
(which has NUKES) but also more importantly--in my opinion--nuclear
power is a technology that cannot be ignored if a nation intends to stay
on its evolutionary path of technological progress.
Abdicating
that right of knowledge in the field of nuclear technology is condemning
that nation to a second class status in the technological world. When
Iran says it wants to build nuclear power plants for peaceful purposes
and how its research on this technology is aimed towards peaceful
pursuits as well, it's funny how the American media people dismiss that
notion out of hand. Yet they know it was the study of atoms which opened
the door towards advancement in the nuclear biology field and discovery
of DNA.
