#5 There will be a lot worse harm to the environment if Iran proliferates nukes. Gotta pick the lesser of two evils.

Would the next stupid concern please step forward?

#10 Dr Alnaser said Iran could have very easily built its nuclear power plant on the Arabian Sea, where there are no countries nearby, but insisted on building it in Bushehr - which is closer to the Gulf countries than it is to Tehran.

The WMD equivalent to the human shield.

#11 Yes, but think of the beneficial effect on "global warming". A nice comfy cloud of Iran will have a positive effect on our albedo problems.

#12 So, the good doc is actually giving the Joos the go-ahead to do it now before Bushehr goes hot? Is that what I'ma readin' between the lines?

Naw, I didn't think so either. Go ahead Israel, do it for the environment#&43

#13 The environment in Iran is pretty bad now. This BBC article from today states 10,000 have died in Tehran in the past year from air pollution.

"It is a very serious and lethal crisis, a collective suicide," the director of Tehran's clean air committee, Mohammad Hadi Heydarzadeh, told an Iranian newspaper.

"A real revolution is needed to resolve this problem."

He says it better than he knows

#16 Dr Alnaser said that winds would carry the pollution to the GCC countries, potentially making them uninhabitable.

Ummmm, I'm trying to come up with a downside to this...

#17 Uh no. The winds would carry the radiation to beloved and peace loving Pakistan. Can we call the whole thing off?

#18 A nice comfy cloud of Iran will have a positive effect on our albedo problems.

Not only a solution to our global warming, but it would provide a soft pleasant glow in the evening. Who's got the hazmat data sheet for Iranium?
