Press TV - Amr Mussa: Nuclear Iran not a threat

Well, if the Arab league has no problem with Iranian Nuclear Technology, why should we have it, a couple of thousand miles away ? Bush's stance on Iran is as obviously fallacious as it was on Iraq. Let's embrace this great prospective of peace...

Terrorist rhetoric.

They may say this on the surface but they do not want Iran to have nuclear technology anymore than anybody else.

Iran cannot be allowed to have nukes. Period. No matter what is said .. Iran is a terrorist threat and needs to be stopped.

The current theocratic oligarchy that rules Iran right now cannot be trusted with nuclear technology. They are simply too liberal with their anti-Israeli/anti-West rhetoric. Certainly these are only words, but if a man is standing in front of you saying he is going to shoot you, you do not allow him to grab a gun, because he just might make good on his threat.

Now, I hold that there is great promise in the intellectual movement in Iran. Their own Velvet Revolution is under way and I truly believe that peaceful democratic Islam is possible in Iran and elsewhere. Given time there will be a change. A modernist, moderate trend is taking hold in Islam.

I believe that one day we will be able to fully trust Iran with nuclear technology. Just not today.

This could be a ploy.

If Iran is staging an ambush they must make US think we have them on the run or on the ropes.

Ahmadinejad's message on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams seemed like a stalling tactic. This message from the Arab League seems strange, too.

Almost as though they were trying to help defend Iran from what they sense is an impending attack.

But the attack may not be impending at all.

However, when you run from a dangerous animal their instinct is to give chase.

Maybe they want us to give chase and fall into a trap.

Pentagonians, beware.

I surprised the Arab league was willing to make such a short-sighted statement. Did they forget 20 years ago when Iran fought Iraq. Or that Persians and Arabs don't always get along? Iran can't really use its weapons to intimidate the west or Israel, as both could annihilate it in retaliation. However, it could easily dominate its much less dangerous neighbors with nuclear technology. Still, the country who is most concerned about Iranian nuclear technology is Israel. They are the number 1 target if Iran gets nukes, and they can handle the situation themselves.

Fair enough, but explain to me why Iran refused the West's offer to build reactors that were cheap, reliable and safe, while producing small amounts of waste but only used non-enriched fuels? Why did they choose to go with a heavy water reactor that used enriched fuel and produced large amounts of waste that is expensive, complex and far more dangerous?

If I was a leader of a country trying to get civilian power, I'd want something that was cheap, reliable, safe and didn't leave me with serious proliferation problems and piles of nuclear waste. I'd want lots of pebble bed reactors, not the kind that Iran has.
