I never said that Eisenhower, between his Atoms for Peace plan, and his support for Egypt over the UK, France and Israel was not a retard or anti-colonialist fanatic.

However, there is a difference between a civilian nuclear program and a nuclear weapons program. The US, EU and Russia have all conceded Iran's civilian program, provided it be monitored. In fact, there was a deal to aid the civilian nuclear power program in exchange for monitoring and an end to Iranian refining.
