The Nuclear Option Using Nuclear Weapons by gausscg@yahoo.com Apparently most American think that we should use nukes in Iraq if Saddam uses chemical or bio weapons on troops: http://pollingreport.com/iraq.htm 'Plenty of other scary opinions there. I don't know, but with those beliefs, it seems pretty easy to bring on the end of the world! Don't people know what nukes are? by Trevor Batten (tebatt@chello.nl) Re: gausscg I don't know -but it sure gives foreigners an unpleasant impression of what Americans are (unless of course one welcomes them as heroes willing to liberate you from the taxman). Iran's Nuclear Energy Plans - by Sophia Barkat Count on CSPAN to run a good show. Yes. I am talking about the Washington Journal. One guest per show. Callers ask questions. No one is shut out. A good forum and should be given credit for it. People got a chance to ask Mohammad Javad Zarif to answer its reaction to the War. About Iran's building of nuclear reactors, which Zarif explained was solely for energy purposes since Iran is now consuming 2 million out of 4 million barrels of oil that it produces each day and will need be using much more as the levels of consumption goes up. It is Iran's or any other nation's right to decide what kind of energy they use - nuclear, oil etc. Contrary to popular belief nuclear energy is safe. The Uranium used in nuclear energy reactors is not the same as those used in bombs. U235 is used in energy reactors. They produce neutrons but far less than the quantity called CRITICAL MASS. They become unsafe to the locality when the critical mass is reached and then the whole place can explode like a normal bomb. Clearly since energy reactors are not mobile and if Iran were to build them they would not be a problem to people outside of Iran. I don't know if one can do this near international borders - perhaps someone here might know. Now, can Iran use this safe-form, as far as international relations is concerned, and slowly develop nuclear weapons? Sure it can. Should the US be worried about it? Yes it should. Iran and any other country building it's first nuclear weapon or it's third do so to keep bully nations off their territorial boundaries - be it Russia, India, China or the US. If the US does not itself disarm I do not expect any nation with oil, uranium or any other resources the US might have an eye for next to sit quietly and wait to be taken over. It's really interesting Americans can point fingers are smaller countries that try to stand up. I don't think Iran has a history of democratic ideals. But does the US? Hmm... Uranium in Iraq -- Not the story you were expecting by Cherrie Lynn With all the recent hoopla in the Press about Bush Jr. making a mistake about Iraq importing Uranium from Nigeria, here's some news you didn't expect. Reporter, Edmond Roy of The World Today, writes about US usage of Uranium in Iraq in, "Concern about depleted uranium damage in Iraq". The forwarded article is in: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuietPolyJuryFury/message/1879 by Sophia Barkat re: Cherrie's post I heard about this at a local war protest in Flagstaff. Apparently, the "Gulf War Syndrome" from Bush Sr.'s war was nothing but cancer caused by exposure of US Soldiers to Uranium. The US Military didn't want to admit that they had given their soldiers cancer so they named it "Gulf War Syndrome" so that they could reduce their own financial exposure, I guess, for conscience they surely don't have. I hear 1/3 of all soldiers from that war are suffering some form of it and are getting no help. |
