Atomic Power - "The Key to Goodwill?"
I must disclose that I am truly a neophyte when it comes to most realities and limitations surrounding Nuclear Power. I like many, only superficially follow the news concerning Korea, Iran, Burma and other pockets of life on earth that seek to avail themselves of it's potential benefits... and yes, I think I also understand the slippery slope on ...

Iran's Arsenal is Really Financial not Nuclear
The US isn't afraid of Iran's ''Nuclear Arsenal'' but rather their ''Finacial Arsenal''... Iran has begun an ''Oil Bank'' that has let the air out of the Dollar, creating the first steps of a finacial freefall for the US and anyone sticking to the Dollar as ''Oil Currency''; not my opinion, fact!!! Read the Tehran newspapers... Can you see the ...

Macho Hillary Promises To "Obliterate" Iran in 10 Years.
''I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran,'' Clinton said. ''In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them.'' (Huffington Post) Maybe this says something about the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Democratic Party that ...

Bush is probably right on this one...
That ''report'' is more about shafting Bush rather than Iran's new purity. Iran doesn't need nuclear energy, they have oil. If they want nuclear reactors they don't even need nuclear fuel since the Russians have offered to give it to them. Their ongoing ''civilian'' nuclear program doesn't appear to have a reason to exist other than to ...

Israel is probably behind the Iranian exiles who differ wit
When Israel got its head handed to it in the NIE - or so they felt - I suspect their propagandists started working overtime to get Iranians in exile to criticize and contradict the NIE. But while Israel's rejection of the NIE was well-known, no one seems to be asking if they are also fi\omenting the exile group, which has gotten a lot of press ...

Religious Pressures
Indeed, sir, I do wonder if it was a extreme Catholic regime in control of a country would we care more or less? I notice that there is no worse war than a civil war. New and different religious sects are treated with the most violence and venom by the very religions they come from. Perhaps it is and idea that because Islam is a ''foreign'' ...

Interesting, but unfortunately wrong
As is often the case, US military planners seem intent on fighting their previous war - not their next one. Gates' emphasis on assymetric warfare is horribly wrong. The world economy is now globalised. Rather than being segmented into mostly independent sections, it is a single organism. For America's opponents to damage America, they can now ...
