Iran; Nuclear threat?

Iran's kicking up again. This time about some uranium enrichment programme.

Russian and Iranian nuclear specialists are meeting to discuss the idea of Iran enriching nuclear material on Russian soil to 'ease controversy'. The biggest thing that can possily happen is Iran makes some nuclear power plants.

Of course, westerners (Europe) are shitting themselves at the idea of allowing Iran access to material that might be used to make nuclear weapons. Oh, right, let me get this straight. Western countries have more nuclear weapons than Iran has sand. And we in the west are quite vocally against the rulling method of the Iranian government. Because they might believe something different to us.

So.. We're allowed nuclear weapons, and lots of them, and Iran isn't allowed to have access to the materials to make weapons, and power plants, without us getting all pissed off. If they were making a nuclear arsenal to destroy the world, they sure as hell wouldn't let the UN in on it. Hans Blix is very, very against nuclear war, and he'd wag his naughty finger at Iran. They might be making nuclear warheads. Might. Oh no, it's not like Europe doesn't have more than it knows what to do with anyway.

Have you ever wondered why they're always so bloody pissed off over in the Arabic states?

I suggest you do wonder, one day.

I take it you won't, so let me give you an idea of what might be pissing them off. We, the west, keep sticking our great big, rich, well powered noses into their business, telling them they can't do things, because they might want to wage war on us. It's not our nation to control. It's theirs. The BBC has a news article about four Iranian nuclear sites. Only two of them are useful (and even then only maybe) for making nuclear weapons.

I doubt it occured to people that they, the Iranians, are trying to get some power to their highly under powered slums. Oh no, they might be making their people happy! Shit, we can't let that happen. We must have them being all pissed off so when they step out of line we can declare war and feel rightous and great because we kicked an underequiped nations ass. And we can then blame everything on them, like we have done for the past bloody century.

What the west really needs to do is to get their bloody noses out of the Arabic states business and deal with the fact that not everyone works the same way we do, shock horror, and they might want to get on with their own dealings without half the planet breathing down their neck hitting them with a cane, or having Mr. Blix wave his naughty finger at them.

Unfortunatly, governments need a scapegoat. So they spend money on trying to be 'peace keepers' in the Arabic states.

I have an idea, however. How about, instead of spending so much money on the 'peace keepers' we stop being invasive morons, and spend money on having a government that isn't as useless as the present one. Perhaps, while we're at it, we could buy the half a million baby incubators that everyone seems so ratty about, and then we can do things constructively, rather than fanny about, screw things up, blame the Arabs, beat them up, then go home feeling as if we're guilt free and superior.

Fucking western countries. I wouldn't leave them for the world, but I will rant about them.
