#2 And thus, the nuclear arms race in the Middle East between Islamic states begins.

#3 Just what a country with excess natural gas needs -- "clean, inexpensive" nuclear power. Nuclear power will never be cleaner or less expensive or less complicated than running local natural gas through a gas turbine/generator.

It looks like Perv and Hosni are determined to ride Ahmanutjob's and Hugo's coat tails right into Hell. Works for me.

#4 President Mubarek must be planning to recall the former head of Egypt's nuclear project... That would be Dr. El Baradei, I do believe, and from what I've heard he's been working to keep his critical skills current, so that's ok.

#6 He said Egypt was "not starting from zero. We have knowledge of this technology, enabling us to move forward with it."

This is a direct admission of their clandestine nuclear program which I routinely accused elBaradei of being unable to detect. That elBaradei is a native Egyptian probably has nothing to do with it.

#7 Interestly, no mention of what will become of the waste. At last check, I don't remember hearing about any salt mines in the Middle East to bury it.

The other would be security of these complexes. I remember hearing about after the fall of Saddam in Iraq. People were taking home the radioactive metals to make pots and pans and other containers.

The other use was for warmth. Radioactive metals throw off heat as well as radiation.

#8 'Egypt will pursue nuclear energy'

#9 Interestly, no mention of what will become of the waste

How about Gaza? It would make the area cleaner and better lit.
