Iran to unveil nuclear ‘achievements’ Wednesday
2012-02-15
TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to unveil several unspecified nuclear “achievements” on Wednesday, his government’s website said.

“Several completed nuclear projects will be unveiled tomorrow in the presence of the president,” the official website said on Tuesday. “Experts believe these achievements will show the world the extraordinary capability and knowledge of Iranians.”
Oh, we can't wait...
It added that the progress will underline Iran’s scientific adherence to “nuclear power for all and nuclear weapons for none,” the website said.

The announcement confirmed a vow made by Ahmadinejad on Saturday to inaugurate “important nuclear projects” within “days,” in a speech marking the anniversary of Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution.

#4  "Iranian people's affections" ?? Those 'affections' and $1.65 will get me a cup of Starbucks. Otherwise Oderint dum metuant. Let those misguided affections work to make Iran a better place for Iranians to live in rather than a hotbed of JIHAD.

#3  actually, the educated peeps in the cities are generally pro-America/western culture. They are the ones getting shot and beat without a word of protest from Obama, because he's unsympathetic to them

#2  EXPERT: US TO NOT LAUNCH ATTACK ON IRAN FEARING LOSS OF IRANIAN PEOPLE'S AFFECTIONS, as Iran's people historically have always liked the US.

Far be it from me to contradict the 'perts on Topix, but exactly when was this golden age? Back before the Shah? Seems to me that we've been in a simmering conflict since Mr. Peanut was President.
