#1 The WaPo can't be believed about much. Are there any of you in the 'Burg who follow Iranian blogs? If so, are they showing any signs of awareness that serious people in the West are talking about turning their country into a radioactive glass parking lot rather than let the mad mullahs get their hands on nuclear weapons? I can't help but think that if the average Iranian knew just how dangerous the situation is for them personally due to the irresponsible and vicious threats made by their government, they would be tearing the mullahs to bloody bits with their bare hands.

#2 No one is really rejecting the idea of nuclear power generation for Iran. It's the setting up of a system where fisile materials can be diverted and missused that are being objected to.

#3 Note the problem here....

""Look at all this civilization!" said Mehrdad Khanban, 23, the sweep of his arm taking in the towering pillars and regal staircases of the stone city founded by Darius the Great in about 518 B.C. in the southern corner of Iran first known as Persia. "What has George Bush got? And he's telling Iranians what to do?"

These buggers are trapped in dreams of ancient glory. They don't get anywhere cause they're constantly walking backwards. Maybe someone should remind them of what happend when the Mongols arrived.

#4 I agree with Mehrdad. Iranians can have any technology Darius had.

#5 AlanC - Are you suggesting that we should send some of the various Iranian Ambassadors' heads back home in a bag?

Well, okaaay, then...
