What the f

is the development of "peaceful" nuclear technology? How could Iran even dream that that the world is going to buy that far-fetched alibi? If they're serious about their uranium, they should just cut their losses with the negotiations now, and be a renegade like North Korea.

Not, of course, that I'm proposing they do this. Hopefully, Iran is not a complete insanity regime.

There's a quote from Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird that having a gun is like an invitation for someone to shoot you. Having a nuclear weapon is like an invitation for the USA to blow up your country, and the rest of the world if necessary, into nonexistence. Maybe it's not right for the USA to wield so much power, but I do believe that so far we've used it more responsibly than 99% of the other countries would have done. Besides, our nuclear weapons are going nowhere, so there's no point in trying to compete, except to make things worse.

Was that too patriotic? Hopefully no one is horribly turned off.
