The seething insinuation here is that if Iran can't be trusted with nuclear power, then how can the rest of the world? I'd say it's a safe bet that none of the countries on the list have made overt threats to wipe out neighboring sovereign countries... like some countries which shall remain nameless.

If the terrorist got their hands on the nuclear power plant fuel to make nukes, it'd make a fine excuse for USA to invade their home country thus gaining their resources,since terrorists usually operate from oil-rich countries (the fact that they are not quite good at exploiting their own natural resources is probably caused by some evolutional drawback from too much heat in the equatorial regions, every tried studying when it's quite hot?)

If only you lived here you'd be numb to it like we are. The Bush Administration just got done spending over twice this (42 million) on letters to everyone letting them know their economic stimulus check is in the mail...

Nuclear power is the only solution to the world's energy crisis. Quit your whining, mates. George Bush in 2008!! Leadership, freedom, life, security! God Bless America!!

It's no problem if we set-up nuclear plants and they fall into nefarious hands..... we'll simply blow them up at a latter time if necessary!

oil is getting mighty expensive, and if the French can get 80% of their electricity from nuclear power, then surely the rest of the world can do the same!

if the plant is properly designed, and the operators properly trained, there is very little risk involved.

the only hangup I have, is what do you do with the "waste" from such a plant? has to be buried for 10,000 years!

If it wasn't so serious it would be worth a good laugh. How stupid is the current US administration(don't answer that). The only thing I can gather from it is that the current state of terrorism is just a bunch of BS they have been feeding the people, or it it that they want another attack so they can remove what ever rights the US public has left. Maybe we should start calling the USA the USSA.

US is only init to keep Putin away from that plonkee wonga! Besides, US could use it to pay the Chinese and other such Sovereign Wealth Funds.
Where's Tony Blair when you need him?

U.S. Government is a whore, like the french republic. When it is about doing $$ selling stuff, he forgets all of his principles.

They're not the only ones wanting to make a killing off nuclear energy in the future. France/Japan/Russia/etc are all getting on the bandwagon.

Yeah, we'll gladly export our nuclear technology.... For special customers, like Iran and North Korea, we'll even ship it express, courtesy of US Air Force (hehe).

U.S.: Express delivery for you, Kim Jong Il.

KJI: Rell, rerr is it?

U.S. :Look up, arsehole!
