WhichWing...dont blame us. We are all for nukes on every street, for lights, heat, air all of the electric needs. Thank your greenie neeines out there that we dont use nukes for power. Texas has a few, Nebraska has some, Arkansas and some others. The Al Gore types scream about alternative energy, and when it is avaliable, they scream that you cant do that cause it is nuclear.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

One of the greatest threats to our security is the drawing of moral equivalence between the Islamic Theocracy governing  Iran and the representative republic that governs the United States conducted by amoral fools like yourself.   Our system of government is based on a supreme law embodied in the constitution of the Unted States of America.  Iran's system of government is based entirely on clerical interpretation of the Koran and Hadith.   This is akin to the US using the Bible as its foundational governing document.  You and others like you would not accept such a government, so why do you insist that we should treat exactly such a governmnet in a foreign country as moral equivalent to our republic?

Unfortunately, DutrchDutch took your bait.  I will do no such thing. 

Your analogy comparing the Nuclear programs of Iran and the United States is completely invalid in the first instance for these reasons: 

First, the US nuclear program owes its roots to WWII, when nuclear weapons and their long term effects were completely unknown and a desparate, worldwide struggle against anti-semitic fascism was underway.  The US nuclear program then fell into dormancy until it became clear that Soviet spies had stolen the secrets of their making and Stalin's brutal regime was feverishly building a nuclear weapons stockpile.  The ensuing cold war created a gobal stockpile of nuclear weapons that most of us wish did not exists.  Now we face another sruggle against another rabidly anti-semitic fascist regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, which also harbors a world apocalyptic vision and is feversihly working to build nuclear weapons.

Second, the civilian and military nuclear programs of the United States are completely divorced from one another,  due to the nature of the technologies used.   All US military nuclear material originated in one of about 7 nuclear reactors operated by the United States government explicitly for this purpose.  Any generation of electricty by these plants is entirely incidental to their operation.  They are NOT light water moderated reactors which all of our commercial plants are.    The reactor being constructed by Iran in Arak is a heavy water reactor.  This isn't the sort of plant one uses for optimum electricity production.   The Russians have previously supplied Iran with a light water design suitable fo electricty production.  Conclusion:  Iran's statements that its program is aimed solely at domestic electricity production is a lie.

Here is the critical difference:  The United States has always conducted its nuclear weapons programs entirely in the open.  In fact, they have been too open, so open that under Bil Clinton's negligent management in the 1990's and Harry truman's negligent oversight of teh late 1940's, Chinese and Soviet spies respectively were able to steal the secrets held by these programs right out from under our noses.  Since the end of WWII, it has been stated US policy to prevent both the spread and actual use of such weapons.  Iran, on the other hand, is operating clandestine nuclear program while stating one of its national objectives as wiping Israel off the map.

It astound me that myopic liberals like yoursefl continue to equivocate with these hate ridden theocrats.

Actually, until leftists like yourself succeeded in shutting down the construction of nuclear plants some 30 years ago, the US was well on its way to having nuclear power supply a good chunk of its energy needs. New Jersey and South Carolina generate almost half of their energy needs via nuclear.

And even today, the ultra-liberal state of Vermont gets 72% of its energy from nuclear power, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute. 

But sadly, to the east, Public Service Company of New Hampshire was forced into bankruptcy by the ultra-left Clamshell Alliance in the 1970s. Before the loonies did their work, PSNH had been one of the most financially solid power companies for nearly a century.

That's a great album!! Especially the Andy Griffith Show Theme w/ vocals.

You can still order the CD from SST.
