"truly peaceful"
There lies the key words. I'm sure that most people don't have a problem with any nation having a truly peaceful nuclear power program, besides the whole "nuclear power is bad" arguements that the environmentalists throw up.
The problem is that rogue nations such as Iran and North Korea cannot at this time be trusted that their nuclear intentions are truely peaceful.
If say Canada, Australia, the UK, Japan, and all the other peaceful nations wanted nuclear power plants I'd say "more power to them" with pun fully intended. I cannot say the same for nations like NK, Iran, and oh Venezuela as examples.
yea, that's what I thinking when I heard that.
Actually what I was thinking is that since Sept. 21st is "UN World Peace Day" - what a marvelous time to bomb the crap out of them.
