War is never the answer, the killing is a disgrace to mankind.

The radical elements of Islam will never accept peace, the Iranian President knows this. His own country is controlled by religious fanatics more intent on maintaining power and control than in facing reality.

Pot to kettle black.

That said, he is a PhD in mechanical engineering and is not as stupid or as fanatical as many would have us believe. Bush would do well to consider accepting Iran's right to nuclear power as a source of energy and insist on keeping the 'nuclear bomb' issue as non-negotiable. Carter tried this under Clinton and we know what happened in North Korea.

"transparent, peaceful and under the watchful eye" of United Nations inspectors..

When has Iran ever been transparent? When have Islamofascists ever been peaceful? When has the UN Ever had a Watchful Eye Over Anything? Never.

Put. Down. The Crack-pipe. The heavy-water reactor in Arak will create plutonium in quantities. Why would he need plutonium if low-level enrichment will work fine for the creation of power?

Not to mention they've instuctions by AQ Khan for the creation of U-235 hemispheres for what? There is no reason for rounded spheres of uranium unless you're going to use it for the creation of critical mass. NONEWHATSOEVER. Negotiate for peaceful use of atomic energy? Excuse me, that's what the EU has been trying to do for months.

The privelege of peaceful nuclear energy is *conditional*, on not developing nukes for weapons and on verifying that by full inspectations and regulatory compliance. Iran was *caught* cheating on the subject *four times* over *three years*, now. They had undeclared programs, they hid entire labs from the IAEA, they enriched U beyond what is needed for reactor fuel, they built a breeder reactor that makes plutonium without telling anyone, etc etc ad nausem.

They broke the conditions. They have no right to nuclear power any more.

This is not something to negotiate with them or with the press or with you, about. It is done, baked in, over. Everyone on earth knows they are trying to get nuclear weapons, nobody is fooled in the least by the flowery speeches - which incidentally are all about the overthrow of the west not about electricity demand.

Cowards unwilling to face what they know Iran is doing, or barbaric enemies who hate the US more than they hate the prospect of nuclear war, are the only ones denying any of it. And they will get a million innocent people killed. And you are helping them do so, with your false implication that Iran can be left peaceful nukes.
