More News on Iran

Where to start? With Iran trying to minimize the hatemongering spewing from their "elected" leader, the last thing they need is further evidence that they are providing weapons to the terrorists in Iraq. However, it appears the British have found such. Hyscience has the story here.

You would think that this kind of news would put a damper on Iran's attempts at hegemony, right? Not on the anniversary of the 1979 embassy takeover, where over 10,000 demonstrators chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" outside the former compound (news story).

Well, if Iran is going to be confrontational, then at least we ought to be preparing for war with them, right? Not so, claims Iran, which declared its intention to resume uranium production "for peaceful purposes." (news story) Iran has already produced enough uranium to fuel a nuclear weapon, but apparently it screwed up. The uranium is too impure to convert to UF6, which is needed to enrich uranium into the state required for a nuclear weapon. So, as the old adage goes, "try, try again."

So Iran is arming terrorists, chanting "Death to America! Death to Israel!", threatening countries with extinction, and would like, pretty please may I, to enrich uranium to make a nuclear weapon. Dream on, Ahmadinejad. Stay the course, President Bush.
