"Iran says the more highly enriched fuel is needed for a medical research reactor, but U.S. officials and weapons scientists say the type of uranium produced at Qom can be easily and quickly converted into weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs. Iran has announced plans for making large quantities of the advanced form of uranium, enough to supply its existing medical research reactor for many decades."
This continual litany is not a very good approach to getting copacetic with Iran. Whatever happened to the "we'll talk it through meme"? I mean is the final story, "After years of suspicion, we have proof they have a bomb?"
How about, We realize this dance is toast. Instead, let's send Colin or someone to Tehran and have him stay until there is some progress. Nonviolent democratic revolution. That sort of thing.
We are trying to graft new and old wine skins and that does not work. In fact, why should Iran not have a nuke? All other powers have them. When you answer that one, you get into another wine skin problem. It is called the Bible which grafts the Old and New Testaments and then allows for the selective application of the very (old) things Jesus came to amend - like child abuse, bullying and reliance on killing people as a solution to problems.
