#1 Sounds like the KCNA playbook finally made it to Iran (probably sent it Library Rate). Needs more juiche. We need some more detailed articles and Iranian Rants so we can score them like the Good Olde Days with the Norks on Rantburg.

#2 The trouble with blatant propaganda is that it actually increases the effectiveness of blatant counter-propaganda.

And since the Iranian government can't block popular satellite signals from coming in, imagine how one of these music videos would look, re-edited with pictures from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, quotes of threats to use nuclear weapons by Mullahs, footage of nuclear detonations and its destructive effects, etc. The entire "Atomic Cafe" thing in a nutshell. All while the singer is extolling how wonderful nuclear power will be once they have it.

Bet the Iranian people would just *love* it.

#3 Nuclear science may not be considered ideal subject matter for a popular song...

I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher
He wears dark glasses

Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
