It is common for people around the world to shout "Oil" when it comes to preemptive maneuvers against a country we eventually go to war with. For America, it is "bringing others democracy" that we say is our goal for war. In the case of Iran it is neither.
Secretary Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, and Cheney have all threatened Iran by warning against isolationism, accusing them of proliferation of nuclear weapons, and calling them a regime.
Many here in America say, "Geeze, that sounds familiar." But I assure you that while it sounds familiar, there is nothing about Iran that remotely resembles one thing regarding to other countries, not North Korea, not Iraq, not even South American countries. So what do you suppose makes Iran unique when compared to the other so called threats in this world?
Iran, like most Middle Eastern countries have little potable water, a few rivers is all. So they use the salty ocean waters and are gifted with a process called desalinization. In their quest for a more cost effective method of desalination, they discovered a process of nuclear fission and fusion that could save the entire region. It has the ability to irrigate vast desert lands and turn them into vegetative oasis.
Iran has surpassed China, the United States, Russia, France and Japan when it comes the reprocessing and separation of uranium and plutonium. They safely and in a cost effective way have figured out how to best use U, Pu+actinides and every other fission byproduct. In doing so, they have figured out how to take a cup of water and add to the plasma created; hence, they are able to fuel entirely the city of San Francisco for one week at less than half the cost of natural gas, oil, and electricity. The good deal is that they have done this and left virtually only reusable radioactive wastes which is superior to other methods of energy known to man. In addition to this, they have solved the problem of what to do with gamma radioactivity which can be used in new technology to read chemical components, you know, the stuff our military can use to detect IEDs and such. Also, they have discovered technology that will fuel vehicles going out into space, far superior to that of Japan and Russia. Their cutting edge now sets them totally above every country in the world. They are on the verge of a formula to travel at the speedof light with the only problem being the material composition for such a vehicle. Currently our materials in vehicle use have too much mass and suffer burn or freeze from this nuclear propelled technology.
Ask yourselves who stands to lose? It seems like a win-win technology, right? I mean, no waste, safe energy for all at far cheaper costs. Imagine how the oil companies, the electric companies, and natural gas companies shall react to this? This will put them out of business. Oil companies will be relegated to manufacturing products only for household or cosmetic purposes. LOL Refineries will be called RAID or Powder Puffs! <smile> There goes any chances of mass control of people around the world. No more oil addiction! Old people won't die from lack of air-conditioning or freezing temperatures anymore. The energy will be for rich and poor alike! No more high profits! Uh oh, there goes our chances of paying off our outrageous deficits from wars. Oops, maybe we should have thought this out better. Damn Iranians.
So why are we accusing them of proliferation? Quite simply, whenever you use a process of separating plutonium, it can be used to create nuclear weapons. I am telling you that Iran hasn't got to waste their time, energy and money on such technology. They can buy them for so much less from Russia and China and probably already have. The real threat is in the killing of major global players who promote profits over the environment and people. Is America a noble enough nation to allow such a near perfect technology manifest or are we more concerned about what will happen when people all over the world will lose their jobs? Guess we will have to see if we are going to go to war over this before we try to answer that question.

Your heart is in the right place. There can be no question of that. It is a place that mine shares with yours. There are many many others also there. If we step back from the physics of things, physics that can lead to pointless arguing, we might be able to focus on the question" Why does a country, a net producer of fossil fuels need to enhance uranium?" Larry
Quite simply, Larry, the use of nuclear energy is a far more cost effective way to power the desalization process which provides that nation with their potable water. Without it, they'd have another Mexico with their citizens flocking to a country that abounds with natural resources.
Yes, nuclear power is a much more effective way to power lots of things if you don't have 25% of the known reserves of fossil fuels underneath your soil. Radial fanaticism is a threat to all of humankind
The clues are in the original piece. The research is tight and vast. As for fanaticism, I quite agree. Our country appears to those in Iran as a threat at this time, a nation of infidel fanatics. Still, I doubt anyone on earth will use a nuke for anything other than economic and political gain. As a radical once said, "They with the most nukes, wins." I wonder which country that would be.
