Iran Said to Have Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon

NY Times....for complete article

Iran has now produced roughly enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.

The figures detailing Iran’s progress were contained in a routine update on Wednesday from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has been conducting inspections of the country’s main nuclear plant at Natanz. The report concluded that as of early this month, Iran had made 630 kilograms, or about 1,390 pounds, of low-enriched uranium.

Several experts said that was enough for a bomb, but they cautioned that the milestone was mostly symbolic, because Iran would have to take additional steps. Not only would it have to breach its international agreements and kick out the inspectors, but it would also have to further purify the fuel and put it into a warhead design �?a technical advance that Western experts are unsure Iran has yet achieved.

“They clearly have enough material for a bomb,�?said Richard L. Garwin, a top nuclear physicist who helped invent the hydrogen bomb and has advised Washington for decades. “They know how to do the enrichment. Whether they know how to design a bomb, well, that’s another matter.�?/BLOCKQUOTE>

No problemo, Barack will hold an unconditional meeting with them and they'll hand it over. It's easy! I know, cause "the One" told me so

Who is the bigger threat???

Since the USA first used a nuclear weapons during a time of war, we have never used one against any enemy since.

Militant Islam through Jihad, has continually disrupted the peace for thousands of years.

Do you honselty think a rouge nation like Iran wants nuclear weapons inorder to keep the peace?

Get real! They want to nuke Israel.

THE DEATH SQUADS:
BRINGING IN THE KINGDOM
OF GOD THROUGH TERROR,
TORTURE AND DEATH [1996]

"Killing for the joy of it is wrong, but killing because it is necessary to fight against an anti-Christ system ... is not only right, but the duty of every Christian." [quoted in Cubie Ward's Paralife Ministries' newsletter, Living Word.; Paralife Ministries is associated with Larry Lea in its work in Central America, specifically, in El Salvador. Both Ward and Lea say they have dedicated the work of their ministry to "God's redemptive purpose in Central America."[1]

INTRODUCTION

Strange things have been going on in the name of Christ. Take the example of an evangelical pastor, Clemente Diaz Aguilar, who was detained by government forces in Guatemala and tortured by mistake: "My captors stole everything from me ... Those who captured me ... divided up my money, and later they led me into the hands of the torturers. In the long hours of torture, they asked me constantly about other pastors ... of some churches in the capital; they asked me also about my views on liberation theology ... The torturers, tired of doing so much damage to me, rested for a while; then I recognized some of them: two are members of a singing duo from these churches (i.e., Verbo and Mision Elim); I begged (them) to recognize me because I recognized them; then they asked me questions about my capture, my complete name, my address, my church and my activities. When they realized I was not the person they were looking for, they begged my forgiveness, saying, 'Brother, we are also Christians'."[2]

What does this mean? - that in building the kingdom of God on earth, it's OK to torture? - even your brothers in Christ if they are perceived to be on the "wrong side?" Obviously, the torturers knew Aguilar was an evangelical - it's just that they had mistaken him for another pastor whom they had reason to believe had gone "soft" in the struggle "to bring in the kingdom."

Of course, the larger question is, since when is it OK for any Christian to torture anyone, Christian or otherwise? What kind of a Gospel is being preached by evangelicals in Latin America? - obviously, at least in certain circles, it's a very politicized one.

What's Christ got to do with it?

Militant Islam through Jihad, has continually disrupted the peace for thousands of years.

I will say "Militant" anything produces the exact same result in every religion including "Atheism". Right now in the US you are far more likely to be killed by a Militant Christian; although by far at this particular time the Militant Islamic forces are more murderous in the world. In the last century however Atheists were by far the most murderous and in the 19th century it was the Christians.

I think we are talking about a very identifiable mental illness that crosses all religious and racial divides.

I would call it Xenopathy, because is is most like a Sociopath; the only difference is that people they identify with are treated with dignity and people outside the "Pale" are not considered to be human.

We can "Identify" Sociopath's brain patterns and can observe physiological reactions and traits that only sociopaths have. So I would conclude that it is quite possible through brain scans and other methods to determine this to be a Psychological Disease. Furthermore it is more then likely that some one that "Hates" for any reason has the exact same patterns in their brain; except no one has tested Reconstructionists, Jihadists, Commissars and Skin Heads to verify it. So this is just a hypothesis at this time.<RTE_TEXT></RTE_TEXT>

Religion is a "mental disease"? Not likely. However, HATE, is a learned behavior.

Hate being a 'mental illness"? I can see that. Hate is a negative emotion that does no good. Hate can burn you up on the inside, and nothing good ever comes from anyone responding and reacating to hate.

Religion is a "mental disease"?

It is my view that every one on the planet has some level of Religiosity including Atheists, Humanists, Freudians, Marxists and especially Objectivism; the problem with those beliefs is that they do not reconize that they are a religion and are more likely to fall in to the same pit falls of every religious belief.

So "Religion" isn't a mental disease because everyone has it, in one shape of form; however everyone can develoup a toxic level of Religiosity which is.

I remember reading an article by one of the leaders of Objectivism in which he flatly suggested genocide of the Iranian people (via a pre-emptive Nuclear strike) because the US has embraced technology and we as a people have the right to dominate them as a people. That clearly crosses the line into xenopathic mindset.

Isn't modern sophistication a wonderful thing?

Giving new labels to old beliefs.....

Ignorance and hatred in the 21st century.

Give it a new coat of paint and put a pretty bow on it all you'd like, but Ignorance and Hatred haven't changed much in 4,000 years.

Ignorance and Hatred haven't changed much in 4,000 years.

I do not believe it is neither ignorance nor hatred, it is a psychological condition that we all have.

It becomes a problem when we give adjectives to nouns. The tendency is we do not understand what we are dealing with and in the words of Sun Tzu...

“If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.�?/FONT>

We do know what we're dealing with, but ignore it.

It's not rocket science.

Spreading your posts is annoying.
