Putin: Iran nuclear work is peaceful
2005-02-19
Apparently he’s willing to take the chance. Are we? I doubt it.

#5  Putin should go back to playing his part in Lord of the Rings.

#4  Putin needs foreign exchange and he needs to keep his nuclear industry active for future use. He's not afraid of Tehran -- he could wipe it off the map in 30 minutes if he needed to. Why would Iranian-supported nuclear terrorists attack a member of the Iran/Syria/Russia axis if they could attack the U.S./Israel axis instead?

#3  Just a little experiment in contrarian thinking: Does Putin feel so threatened by Wahabbis that he's allying with the Shia axis?

I don't think that I'd want to ride that tiger, regardless of the short term benfits.

#1  I doubt it as well, but there goes the security council resolution out the window. I can only imagine how hard the mullahs where shaking in their boots over the prospect of that.
Looks like sorting this out will be up to those damn crazy Cowboys and/or evil Jooooos.
