A recent poll on Iranian Times shows 56% of voters want Iran to produce nuclear fuel. As I wrote on October 12,2003, the key point in this debate is that we are dealing with an irresponsible government in Iran. The international community and the Iranian people have every right to be concerned about nuclear ambitions of the regime. This includes not only military use of nuclear technology but also peaceful use such as power production. Personally I don't want to be living anywhere near nuclear power plants should it ever become operational because I seriously doubt that safety concerns keep mullahs and their contractors awake at night! And God help us if these people ever get their hands on nuclear trigger. In the event of air strikes, I don't think Mullahs can do much other than making some noise and throwing more people in jail to consolidate their rule.
