Iranium

Not particularity cheerful about this Iran nuclear issue, got to say it isn't particularity likely that this is a civilian programme. With Pakistan and China around them and Russia to the north, not to mention several battle groups flying the Stars and Stripes at sea, you can understand them wanting to join the club.
All fine and well but when your country is run by a theocratic regime this could be a pretty dangerous mix, this isn't an anti Islam thing BTW, if Ian Paisley had had nukes Dublin would have been reduced to a smoking ruin long ago. Ms Weasel also makes the very good point that, worryingly, the White house these days resembles a born again convention, with all the lack of reason that brings.
To be honest though I don''t think Iran are going to attack anyone, despite the fact there are still low level hostilities between them and the UAE over a couple of islands in the North (that sit on a huge oil and gas field.)
Nope the problem will probably be the reaction to the threat, Israel is highly likely to attack and if the reactor is already working that will leave the whole region covered in fallout. Still it will save a fortune in electricity as we all glow in the dark.
