[Rhodes22-list] Nuclear Energy Replies

[Roger Pihlaja]

Ed,

Boy, scary stuff!  It's starting to sound more and more like my fearless
prediction from late September, 2004 about an Israeli military strike on the
Iranian nuclear industry is going to come true.  It's currently late
February, 2005 and my original prediction said it would happen within a
year, or by late September, 2005.  I'll stand by my original timing.

Israel absolutely cannot tolerate an Iran with nuclear weapons.  It's a life
or death issue for them.

Fortunately, Israel does not have Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter negotiating
"on their behalf" like the United States did in 1994 with North Korea.  I
still can't believe Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for that craven
piece of appeasement.  Now, North Korea has nuclear weapons using the
"peaceful" nuclear power reactors that Carter & Clinton gave them as part of
that deal.  Gee, a tyranical communist dictator went back on his word and
treaty obligations and started building nuclear weapons about 10 minutes
after the ink was dry on the 1994 agreement.  Who would have ever expected
that?  Clinton & Carter should be tried for high treason for setting the
world up for another 50 years of nuclear stand-off with a communist
dictatorship.  That's a best-case scenario, if we're "lucky".  The
worst-case scenarios get considerably scarier.

Allow Iran to get nukes?  I don't think so!

On a brighter note, I saw the 1st sign of spring today.  The 2005 West
Marine and Defender Marine Master Catalogs arrived via the US Snail Mail!
Can ice breakup be far behind?

2000 mockingbirds = two kilomockingbirds  cute! :)
