#1 This makes the U.S. look good in the world. We look reasonable and the plan is a good comprimise. But we all know Iran is never going to agree to the Russian plan in the end. They probably just want more time to stallllll (continue enriching Uranium) in talks...

#2 of course, maybe we just want a little more time too :-)

#4 I suspect the Iraniacks will agree to it in the end, but pursue a duel program of development; one allied with the Sov's and another clandestine program at home. This would buy them some time, good press, and provide suitable cover for status as "legitimate" peaceful use developers.

#7 Of course, this puts Putin squarely on record as bearing responsibility for the outcome ....

#8 Even if the mullahs agreed to this, what are the guarantees that over time material wouldn't be skimmed from the stuff sent back? Pinch a little here, pinch a little there.....as long as the amount is within the typical range of MUF, no one would be likely to notice.

#10 Of course, this puts Putin squarely on record as bearing responsibility for the outcome ....

However nice it would be to see RaPutin's mammary gland pinched in the Bendix, all of his previous dealings heretofore have greatly sucked the mighty wind. Russia's trustworthiness rates a bare few microns in front of Iran's.

It is difficult to resist the notion that overtly hostile entities like Iran should merely be prohibited from possessing any nuclear technology whatsoever. Attempts to acquire same should be met with strategic or economic blockades.

Too many other disreputable governments will be following Iran's lead for there to be any sort of uncertain or inconsistent diplomatic policy regarding this. We must set the standard for the numerous other similar confrontations that will follow this one.
