| Putin invites Short Round for Moscow talks |
| 2007-10-17 |
| Russian President Vladimir Putin invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday to travel to Moscow for talks, Russian news agency Interfax reported. The invitation followed a meeting between Putin and Ahmadinejad, who is fighting calls from Western powers to stop nuclear work that Washington says is aimed at building atomic bombs. Tehran says its intentions are peaceful. "Ahmadinejad accepted the invitation with gratitude. The parties agreed to clear the dates for the visit through diplomatic channels," Interfax quoted the two leaders as saying in a joint statement. Putin also agreed to bring Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant into operation on schedule following talks in Tehran. "The Bushehr nuclear power plant will be constructed and brought into operation in line with the agreed upon schedule," the statement said. "The parties... reaffirmed that it will continue to be pursued strictly in line with their commitments under the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons." |

| #3 Gotta keep the oil and gas prices rising. Americans taking care of our piss poor energy and trade policy will solve 90% of our international problems. Instead of funding our enemies, send them to the poor house. 200 hundred reactors will replace all the coal fired generators in the US. Use the coal to generate 5M+ barrels/day diesel/condensates or better yet build more reactors for hydrogen production and make 12M barrels of fuel from the same coal. 12M barrels/day at $80/barrel is $350 billion/year. One year of imports is enough to pay for 200 reactors with a 60 year useful life. After 6 years of war without war footing why isn't one new reactor coming on line each and every week? I can only conclude those who lead America, in cooperation with Luddites, want us to suffer and needlessly die so so they can recover a thin sliver of profit or power from the waste of our treasure and resources. |

| #2 As if a Sunni bomb wasn''t bad enough, we've got the fanatical shia followers of a 9th century leader, the 12th Imam, trying to get a button for their finger. |
