Iran getting a Nuclear reactor

[nampigai]

I just read it in a danish newspaper this morning, they are getting a reactor that will stand in 2004, they are being aided by Russia.

[Anathema]

Yes, I read it too. Do you think they should be trusted with a reactor?

[Dunenewt]

Note Nuclear Reactor not Nuclear bomb

[Dante]

Can anyone be trusted with a reactor?

[nampigai]

I'm against nuclear power, so that's my stance, I simply don't trust it, and I find it too powerfull. And Dunenewt they can still use it to make nukes, allthough they tell us they wont.

[Dunenewt]

If there was a chance that they were going to use it to make Nukes then I think USA and UK would intervene

[nampigai]

that chance will allways be there.

[Dante]

Nuclear power isn't a bad thing. Humans are. People just have a tendancy to abuse powerful things like armies, nuclear reactors, countries...

[Anathema]

Didn't they say something about allowing other nations to inspect the plant, so they can be sure it's used for civilian purposes?

so was the North Koreans.

[Caid Ivik]

North Korea developed also some weapons. Of course, it can be for New Year fireworks... ::)

[Dante]

There will be fireworks anyway...

yeah bush suspects that this is just a cover for Iran to make nukes. And i don't realy care. even if they do have nukes, so what? US has them russia has them, North Korea has them, China has them, etc. has them. it's not realy that special anymore. I don't know why we should fear this, and not that

[Gobalopper]

Why does a country like Iran need nuclear power? Its not like they have a shortage of oil. Either way its not a good thing.

[Caid Ivik]

That's really true. In such countries there is hard to buy even a radio, so why they need such amount of electricity? For tank production? ::)

[lowzeewee]

why cant countries like them have reactors when USA has reactors,its not that USA is so 'CLEAN'

[Gobalopper]

Who said they couldn't have them? We are asking why they need them when there is so much oil underneath them.

[lowzeewee]

there is not enough evidence that Iran might misuse the reactors,they possibly need a massive supply of power

Even if they might use it for N-bomb purposes,then cant the super-state-of-the-art,sorry i mean super-state-of-the-world technology save them?If u look on the good side of it,usa will have an excuse to attack iran and steal their oil-fields like husband snatchers.

Note:Its not that i have been Anti-USA all along,its just what USA does that pisses the hell out of me.

Iran's nuclear ambitions

That is why people question their intentions.

It has natural uranium. It has a plant capable of enriching natural uranium into bomb fuel. And it has declined to give the International Atomic Energy Agency the access to sites and information needed to certify that a country is not building nuclear bombs. That poses an acute challenge to the peaceful system the world relies on to restrain the spread of nuclear weapons, as well as another potential threat in the oil-rich Gulf region.

This is a problem that needs urgent international attention. Under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which Tehran has signed, it would be a violation of international law for Iran to build nuclear weapons.

Iran claims that it has no nuclear weapons ambitions and that its nuclear programs are for civilian energy needs. Given the country's oil and gas riches and its resistance to strengthened safeguards, there are good reasons to think otherwise.

note: nuclear reactor + iraq = nuclear bomb

lol, give the terrorist countries nukes, just cuz you hate the US. you seal your own doom.

maybe your dream of a mushroom cloud will come true one day....perhaps even in your lifetime!! :D

[lowzeewee]

*oh wow so cool yeah*

*Lowzeewee speaks cornishly*

Its not that iran is the only country to have one,russia might have one/lots too and why is only the mid-east being marked.

I noticed that u extremely pro-US,I think it is obvious but pls note,i m not trying to start a flame war here,lets have piss.....oops peace

[Gobalopper]

The point of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty is to stop the countries from getting nukes. What is so wrong with that? Even the US and Russia are reducing their nukes.
