Quote:I didn't say it was peaceful. I also didn't imply it. I also don't think it's the case. What I said was that its not reasonable to expect complete dismantling of a nuclear program due to the reasons you latched onto. Not sure why you keep putting words into my mouth.


Scientific progress is a right. How you use it is a different matter entirely.


A nuclear weapons program is completely different and if the sanctions lifted actually are related to anything than those invited due to the weopons program than I do have a problem with that. I'm working late and havnt had a chance to read the whole thing yet.

 

Sanctions against the Kudz force, Iranian personell and embargoes against the sale or purchase of conventional weapons are all part of this deal and were put in place for various terrorist activities across the world.  This completely blows away the idea that this is JUST a Nuclear deal.  

 

Second, which is it.  Is it a nuclear weapons program or is it a benign forray into energy and medicine.  The world knows that it's a nuclear weapons program.  As such don't give me this backhanded garbage about "well we can't ask them to abandon the program because of medicine.... and energy"   Especially when their entire enrichment capability was developed in direct violation of the will and expressed law of the international community.

 

And i would argue that the ability to cross certain scientific boundaries are a privilege not a right.  That is unless now you're arguing that we let Charles Manson run a nuclear reactor.   And even if you consider it a right to develop certain technologies, rights also come with RESPONSIBILITIES!  If Iran wants to develop a peaceful nuclear program like a RESPONSIBLE nation then let it act like one!
