Weapons-grade uranium found in Iran

Ben,

Don't worry about it. Let the UN work their magic. It is just another neocon ploy to justify world domination.

From the article:

"Still, they said, further analysis could show that the find matches others established to have come from abroad. The International Atomic Energy Agency determined earlier traces of weapons-grade uranium were imported on equipment from Pakistan that Iran bought on the black market during nearly two decades of clandestine activity discovered just over three years ago."

I have no doubt that the neo-cons will try to use this bit of nothing to attempt to railroad the American people into another debacle of a war in the Middle East.

I pray that the American people won't be deceived a second time in this decade.

 

Agree Ben.

 

The United Nations obviously has had some problems during the past fifteen years but I think it can still be useful in international affairs at times just as NATO and other international organizations have and can be.

 

The United Nations organization, looks on the surface as being a wonderful organization, of course such is not true. Is a good meeting place, a place of great discussion open lies and deception of every kind, but as for being beneficial to mankind it hardly applies. Because of my American mores and beliefs I do not believe in preemptive strikes. But I do believe in a totally devastating war with others after being attacked. God has given this great nation the big hammer, but we lack leadership with the courage to carry make use of the big hammer.

 

Iranians, i suspect, can hardly contain their glee at the ineptitude and ineffectiveness of the UN and the EU.

 

Considering that Iran has not violated the Non-Proliferation Treaty, just how has the UN or the EU failed?

 

How do you know they haven't?

They refuse to allow inspections.

 

We should not trust UN as the whole world is going wrong.

 

Did you read the article at the start of this thread?

"UN inspectors have found traces of highly enriched uranium"

Folks are bashing the UN while it is the UN that found the traces of highly enriched uranium. Without the UN inspectors we wouldn't know that there were traces of highly enriched uranium the origin of which needs to be tracked down.

If Iran was not allowing inspections, then the UN inspectors would not have found the traces of highly enriched uranium.

 

So there actually is evidence they are in violation of the NP agreement.

 

No. The article stated: "Still, they said, further analysis could show that the find matches others established to have come from abroad."

 

You're playing fast and loose with the "evidence", Ken.

The "evidence" is unproven, but it is also not disproven...and certainly exists.

I apologize for leaving out the word "snap" when I mentioned inspections earlier. Iran does not allow snap inspections.

 

Not really, carpro. Just trying to make sure we know what we are doing this time in case the Bush administration decides that destroying the U.S. and world economies is worth going to war with Iran. That would be a mighty big step to take without knowing without a doubt that Iran is actually violating the NPT and is trying to build nuclear weapons and will actually risk its own destruction by using them against the United States or one of our allies.

 

I understand your concerns, but believe they are largely unwarranted and an overreaction to the evidently faulty intelligence preceding the war in Iraq.

In my opinion, one would have to be a fool to believe the Iranians are not seeking to build nuclear weapons.

I agree proof is needed, but will not overlook Iran's unwillingness to provide it through scheduled and snap inspections.

 

So you think that I am a fool for not believing that Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons without proof of such?
