| Russia plan 'not enough' for Iran |
| 2006-01-27 |
| Russia's offer to enrich uranium on Iran's behalf is "not sufficient" to resolve the stand-off over Tehran's nuclear programme, Iran says. Iran's top negotiator said it had merits but was not enough to provide "for Iran's nuclear energy needs". Iran had earlier reacted warmly to the proposals, raising hopes it might be the key to unlocking the crisis. While US President Bush praised it as "a good plan", his secretary of state accused Iran of using delaying tactics. "One cannot say that it is a negative proposal," said Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, on his return from talks in China. He said it would be further considered, and could be "part of a package", but was not the whole solution. The Russian proposal involves uranium bound for Iranian power plants being enriched in a joint venture on Russian soil. Russia would also take back Iranian nuclear waste for reprocessing. The theory is that if Iran has no enrichment capability, and no nuclear waste, it cannot refine the uranium further to the high quality required to make a nuclear weapon. Tehran denies US claims that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, and says it simply wants to produce nuclear energy. |

| #4 Nothing will ever be enough for megalomaniacs (with the emphasis on maniac). Even if they managed to turn Israel and the U.S. into smoking craters, they wouldn't be satisfied. Nothing in this life will ever satisfy them. They remind me of the definition of a Puritan: A person who fears that somebody, somewhere, might be having fun. Of course, when they die, they're not going to be satisfied, either, when they find out what's really in store for them. (Hint: it'll be HOT) Since they can't be satisfied in life, and they won't be satisfied in death, let's dispatch them ASAP to their special seats in Hell so at least somebody (i.e., the sane world) will be satisfied in this life. |
