They now have enriched Uranium for their Jihad.

How in the wide world of sanity does the civilized world sit back and do nothing? Can all that is sacred sit back and allow a group of people that have no hesitation in blowing themselves up, using women and children as human bombs, have the capacity to own this stuff?

This whole thing is really frightening. I think I am most concerned that George W is going to start another war. Oddly I don't feel bad that we would use force (in this really unpleasant, less than ideal case) but would really prefer someone other than the Stars and Stripes to lead it/Suggest it.

I hope I'm wrong about how serious Iran thing is.

No, but you could make a real nice 'dirty' bomb.

Somehow, the words "Nice" and "Dirty Bomb" just don't fit into the same sentence.

"friendly fire" is the worst, imho

deadline tomorrow.
pulled from an ap story: "Nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said that if the Security Council imposes sanctions, Iran would stop cooperating with the IAEA and conceal its nuclear activities."

So let's just push the button and get it over with, right?

Probably a kindness at that, because when the fabric of society unravels finally, I'm not convinced that it's somewhere I want to be.
