Iran, Geopolitics and the Bomb

i beg to differ here freedomrules
if ur sayin the west is civilized then plz! ever heard of a gay? they all love the west. n if Iran or her president is the rogue then mayb u need to revise ur history lessons. He IS RITe. 6 million jews WEREN`T killed durin the world war 2! it is all a made up story. more christians were killed than the jews n the number of their killin was much more less then 6 milion.

Clash of Civilisations....

Arent you giving too much too the Islamic world? A better statement would be:

Clash of the civilized and the rogue ...

A country whose president doesnt know the history of WW2 and what happened to Jew needs some real education before they can call themselves civilized.

Well, although the responses to this article veered off-target and became about India and Pakistan (as usal) it was interesting; it seems that what I predicted in my article is going to take place. Today the puppet IAEA will suggest Iran is sent to the UN Security Council and so on as I said...

Clash of Civilisations....

nasah

Iranians are remarkably like Indians/Pakistanis.

``Why is it that our planes crash, our buildings collapse at the slightest tremor, our cars burst into flames, we don`t have even a half-standard football stadium in the entire country, but when it comes to nuclear energy, it`s a national issue?!... ``

An Iranian blogger on an Iranian web site.......could be a Pakistani blogger onPakistai site or an Indian blogger on an Indian site.....

hello inbred retard...

Another little factoid for you..

It is hardly surprising, therefore, that our average economic growth rate since 1990 has been below that of India. According to the UN Human Development Report for 2005, Pakistan’s average GDP per capita growth rate was 1.1 per cent as against 4.0 per cent of India during the period 1990-2003. Even during the current financial year, while the Indian economy is likely to achieve a GDP growth rate of about eight per cent, we are now talking of a growth rate of about 6.5 per cent.

According to the UN Human Development Report for 2005, while India spent 4.1 per cent of its GDP on education during the period 2000-02, the comparative figure for Pakistan was as low as 1.8 per cent.

In view of the likelihood of the challenge that China may pose to the US, on the Asian continent later in the 21st century, the US with the objective of containing China on its southern periphery, has entered into a strategic partnership with India as exemplified by the Indo-US defence and nuclear agreements of the last year and the declared US intention to help India become a “major world power in the 21st century”. The fast developing Indo-US strategic relationship neatly dovetails the strategic objectives of a global hegemon and a regional hegemon and may pose serious problems for Pakistan in view of its opposition to Indian hegemony in South Asia.

We do need to have friendly relations with the US but not in the service of the US imperial agenda and certainly not at the cost of our national dignity and honour. The US must be told firmly and unambiguously that while we will continue to fight terrorism as a matter of national conviction, any repetition of the cross-border raid recently conducted by the US forces in Bajaur will be totally unacceptable to us.

Our friendship with the US is marked by uncertainties and limitations regarding its future course, because the current Pakistan-US relationship, unlike the Indo-US relations, is not part of any grand US strategic design.

hello inbred retard.......Pakiland itself lags so behind India, it`s not even funny....``pride when friends do great`` is the imaginary straw pakis are now clutching?

Meanwhile, Pakiland continues to be violated at will..just like a dog gets kicked around..

Pakistan accuses US of violating its airspace

PESHAWAR: Pakistan had to warn off an American helicopter, which violated its airspace above its northern border with Afghanistan, the military said on Sunday. “It was a technical violation,” Pakistani military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told AFP of the incident which happened on Friday night during US anti-insurgent operations in eastern Afghanistan. “After warnings from Pakistan side the helicopter went back,” he said. Two shells were also fired on Friday night from the Afghan side of the border which landed in Pakistan’s rugged tribal region of North Waziristan, but there were no casualties, the general said. afp

What would bipolar factoid junkie know about feeling pride when friends do great? All Indians know is their early morning bowel movements on railroad tracks. India is the most isolated and corrupt country. Most enlightened people stay away from Indians.

{India would be stupid to go in for energy collaboration with rogue states like Iran, Syria! No doubt gas is a cheap source but both nations (syria, iran) are unreliable.}

India is not needed as a cutomer. It is obvious. But who is sucking up to whom? That is the main question. Why is India shivering in its pants, then? Missed the early morning bowel movements, eh!

Very difficult to understand Indians.

Let me try and educate u on certain matters. This time i promise i will be nice.
India would be stupid to go in for energy collaboration with rogue states like Iran, Syria! No doubt gas is a cheap source but both nations (syria, iran) are unreliable. They are also ideological states supporting extreme form of Islam. US, OTOH, is a nation that shares many values (democracy, secularism, rule of law) etc with India and has now offered to collaborate on civilian reactors. US has the technology while Iran, syria does not.
In the matter of technology, something interesting happened recently. Some scientists from BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Center) presented an innovative paper at the week-long 12th International Conference on Emerging Nuclear Energy Systems (ICENES 2005) in Brussels of using thorium directly for nuclear energy.
This is from the following someone`s weblog but the content is worthnoting:

(Revolutionary Reactor Design by BARC

Scientists at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay, have designed what they claim is the safest and most economical nuclear reactor in the world. BARC scientists V Jagannathan and Usha Pal revealed the design, which has been in the making for seven years, in their paper presented at the week-long 12th International Conference on Emerging Nuclear Energy Systems (ICENES 2005) in Brussels.

There are some nice and unique things about this reactor. The design presented was for a reactor that can produce, ``600 MW of electricity for two years `with no refuelling and practically no control manoeuvres.```Most accidents are because of human error. So automation would mean minimal chances of accident - plus reduction in cost. Importantly for India, the reactor does not need uranium, and runs of thorium instead (which India has in plenty). I have doubts about that being an advantage. Though it does not need uranium, it still needs plutonium (800 kg a year), and in comparable quantities to the thorium (1100 kg a year).

The design is called ATBR (A Thorium Breeder Reactor). It uses plutonium as the seed to start the reaction cycle, which then carries on with thorium getting converted to fissionable uranium-233. It is a thorium breeder of sorts (a first with thorium in the world - fast breeding is normally done with plutonium), so it produces as much fissile material as it depletes, extending a single cycle over a period of two years. Thus the minimal human interference required.

World reserves of thorium are about three times that of uranium, and India has 32 per cent of the world`s thorium. Thus India is rather anxious to start exploiting this huge resource, which incidentally also cannot be used to create nuclear weapons.
India has a so-called ``three-stage nuclear program``. In the first stage, plutonium is created in its pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) and extracted by reprocessing. In the second stage, fast breeder reactors (FBRs) use this plutonium in 70-percent MOX-fuel to breed uranium-233 in a thorium blanket around the core. In the final stage, the FBR`s use thorium-232 and produce uranium-233 for other reactors.

The first stage has been realized with India`s 10 nuclear power plants. The second stage is only realized by a small experimental fast breeder reactor (13 MW), at Kalpakkam.

- Bellona)
Now, u know why nuclear reactors using thorium would be so critical for India. Nuclear reactlors can not only solve India`s energy needs but also make it selfreliant in energy.

How long before the pakis tell us they didn`t want a deal anyways....

‘US says no to Pakistan on India-like nuclear deal’

If China does great, Pakistanis feel they are doing great.


Even for an inbred retard self-delusional paki, this takes the cake...

Going by your logic, Pakiland should feel great for having sent a man to space..

Bipolor Factoid Junkie:

China is doing great. South Korea is doing great. Widow killers are just stuck on railroad tracks sqautting.

Birds of a feather flock together. If China does great, Pakistanis feel they are doing great. And in effect, Pakistanis are doing great.

It requires intelligence to understand this which railroad track squatters do not have.

When the big dog wants to kill islamic terrorists, it kills islamic terrorists..

The missing border

Until now, the president and his supporters have been able to convince most Pakistanis that his post 9/11 policies have rescued Pakistan and enabled it to escape the unending US wrath. The majority of our people felt it was prudent not to cross America`s path at a time when it was relentlessly pursuing a policy to avenge the 9/11 attacks. The president had promised the nation that his pro-US policies would bring both political and economic rewards. He had told them a grateful and helpful America would help solve the Kashmir problem and enable Pakistan to protect its nuclear programme.

Those promises remain largely unfulfilled. Though US economic and military assistance to Pakistan resumed and was useful, critics still maintain that Pakistan under a democratic dispensation would have extracted greater help from Washington. On the face of it, the US has moved closer to India and pushed Pakistan to make unilateral concessions on a host of issues including Kashmir, nuclear programme, and the war on terrorism.

There are other theories as well with everyone interpreting the presidential omission in his or her own way. We don`t know what was in the president`s mind when he opted to ignore the Bajaur incident in his speech and instead focused on the issues of dams, Balochistan and National Finance Commission. He treated it as a non-event even if the US attack and the killing of 13 innocent men, women and children had damaged Pakistan`s claims to be a sovereign state and hurt our self-respect. By mentioning the Bajaur tragedy the president could have consoled the survivors and the many other Pakistanis grieving for the victims and blunted the opposition`s protests.

By not mentioning Bajaur, the president gave the impression as if he too is helpless before the mighty US.

Hello inbred retard...did you even read the article YOU posted...guess who is getting shafted..

India must be shafted and India will be shafted...

He said the target of achieving 7.5-8 per cent GDP growth rate could not come true without having all the three gas projects finalised.

inbred retard..

here`s another factoid...Pakistan is neither China or South Korea...And the non-inbred world fails to see how Chinese growth rates reflect positively on Pakiland..
