#1 The first Soviet jet fighters had Rolls-Royce engines.

Of course, Iran has already proposed a Final Solution, so they should be treated as the last country that did such.

#2 I thought enriching uranium to 3.5 % was a crowing achievement to show how good thier system was. If it's so great, build your own damn centrifuges.

#5 My gess was that the plan would've been "Back Off." This idea is funnier at least.

#6 Kerry's plan was actually not that far from the Russian plan that Bush endorsed recently. He just did a horrible job of explaining it in the debates and has little credibility given his record of appeasing our enemies.

Iran has by treaty the right to nuclear energy. In theory, leasing fuel from Russia would keep the $ flowing to the Ruskies while preventing Iran from getting the full fuel cycle. Of course, we would not fear Iranian nukes if they dealt in good faith so the theory may not work in practice.

#8 Iran has by treaty the right to nuclear energy.

Indeed .. Brazil is running an U235 enrichment plant, as is the Netherlands and Germany.
Japan is running a Pu reprocessing plant.
However .. IAEA chief El Baradei has said there needs to be a "probation period".
Because Iran has been caught cheating on its NPT obligations, its rights are now subject to this probation. When the international community is satisfied there is no diversion to a weapons program, Iran can continue.
And it is telling that nobody trusts the Iranians.. not the Russians, not the Chinese, not the Indians. All their intelligence services suspect the Iranians are up to bomb making.

#10 If I was running a rogue state, wanted nuclear power stations, and no one trusted me not to have a bomb program, I'd contract the whole thing out to the French. They could build and manage it, hiring locals as needed, with the IAEA looking over their shoulders. Simple, cost effective and internationally approved.

Of course, that's if I didn't want the bomb.

#11 No dignity there GreenMan.

#12 Any solution that begins with "Throw Ahmenidjad out of the back of a transport at 30,000 ft without a parachute" is a pretty good starting place, especially if its followed by "Hold free and open elections and allow ALL candidates to run".
