Notes on Iran

So Iran is trying to get nuclear weapons again. If you believe our intelligence community, of course... and doesn't it seem like everybody does? Where are all of the naysayers who think that with a little scrutiny, the intelligence on Iraq's WMD programs would have fallen apart? Hrm.

I find it does not help me to get stressed out. I try to find something humorous in every situation. For example, the story at Scrappleface the other day: Iran Gives $8 Million to Save ANWR Caribou. That's hysterical!
Or this one from a month ago (I've been saving it): Iran Invites U.S. to Bid on Nuclear Plant. And you thought they didn't have a sense of irony?

"America can take part in international bidding for the construction of Iran's nuclear power plant if they observe the basic standards and quality," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said at a news conference.

I am trying to picture the look on the face of Secretary of State Condi Rice when she first heard this. I say, take them up on it. Call that bluff! What's the worst that can happen - they let us build it? Look at the reactors in the USA - this is at least a 30 year ordeal to build a nuclear power plant. I call it "buying time". Surely there will be a revolution by then, and the theocracy ousted.
