US to give nuclear technology to Iran
This has bad idea written all over it. And it's a headline that just sounds horrible...
So we're going to help them build nuclear reactors and we're going to give them Boeing parts as well. The article classifies the technology as "dual use" in that it can be used in civilian and military capacities. I can't believe we'd give them that technology because I doubt they'll allow us to monitor how they use it. What are we getting out of the deal? Hopefully more than just Iran's word that they'll stop enriching uranium and abandon the program. I honestly can't imagine anything short of allowing us to put our troops in all of their nuclear facilities that would make this deal worth it. UPDATE @ 4:14pm: HotAir isn't quite as perterbed by the whole scenario based on the thinking that if we didn't offer the nuclear carrot, Germany or Russia would since all of us on this side of the negotiations table aren't even on the same page. |
