political : DEFYING U.N., IRAN OPENS NUCLEAR REACTOR [+] serious ballot by herzog created Mon Aug 28, 06 KHONDAB, Iran (AP) - An Iranian plant that produces heavy water officially went into operation on Saturday, despite U.N. demands that Tehran stop the activity because it can be used to develop a nuclear bomb. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inaugurated the plant, which Tehran says is for peaceful purposes. The announcement comes days before Thursday's U.N. deadline for Iran to stop uranium enrichment - which also can be used to create nuclear weapons - or face economic and political sanctions. Tehran has called the U.N. Security Council resolution "illegal" and said it won't stop enrichment as a precondition to negotiations. Mohammed Saeedi, the deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said the heavy water plant is "one of the biggest nuclear projects" in the country, state-run television reported. He said the plant will be used in the pharmaceutical field and in diagnosing cancer. - - - - - - - - - Ok. So I think by now it's clear they're trying to get nuclear weapons. Agreed? Right, moving on. Everytime I post an article about the latest move by Iran towards nuclear weapons the usual suspects chime in with 'well diplomacy is a process, give it time and it will work' or 'you can't say diplomacy has failed yet, they've only just started the negotiations' or other such nonsense. So, right now, now that it's clear what their intents are, how long do you think we should give diplomacy before saying it has failed? Remember that time is an issue here, eventually they will have a nuclear arsenal, and at that point diplomacy ends because the mullahs have got what they needed from time consuming talks and they put an end to them. So how long before you confess that maybe diplomacy didn't work this time round? Now/a long time ago, the time for talk without action has passed another few months, tops another year 5 years a decade or more never, diplomacy never fails, even if they aquire nukes because of it Register to submit choices Ballot #101069 : SEE RESULTS Comment: Register to submit comments You may still vote without registration show your vote with comment?
