#4 To riff on the old Montana joke:

Iran! Where men are men, and sheep are nervous!

#8 A majority of Iran's nearly 70 million people are Shiites, which comprise about 15 percent of the world's 1.2 billion Muslims.

Seems like the Shiites are involved in more than their fair share of the world's problems. Maybe the other 85% are Mostly Mythical Moderate Muslims?

#12 'This is not good, not good at all.'
Why Tony? the fact is that the best Iranian scientists cannot compare with the west and are at best decades behind our research.

#14 Many Sunni Muslim clerics, however, have spoken against cloning in any form.

What, no fatwa?

#15 It is not good, because the tools used to clone can also be put to very, very bad uses.

This (if true) signifies they can do a lot on the bio weapons front.

#17 Nah, just a former Biochemist now in IT recalling what the good things they taught me to do ... and how they can be very bad things.

Cloning being really difficult, while manipulating baterial or viral cells much less so (still difficult, but orders of magnitude different).

What book, sounds good?
