I think it's a shame that they are pouring their resources into bomb manufacturing rather than more useful stuff. The more useful stuff would have a side effect of acquiring the power and world respect that Iran wants. /BAH

You will need to pay attention at the hidden assumptions of "european thinking" in that these peoples are uneducated and primitive. Some days, I think this is why Europe is sitting on their twiddling thumbs when they're dealing with Iran's bomb making intentions. I always talk myself out of this thought because nobody could be that stupid. [You don't have to say it, Mati.] /BAH

Beginning with Iranian scientists who were educated in the US, UK, France, and Germany. Do you think Pakistan[1] was the only nation smart enough to get some of their people educated in the west? Since you're so "smart" tell us how many western educated scientists are needed to build an A bomb? [1]"The 1975 arrival of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan considerably advanced these efforts. Dr. Khan is a German-trained metallurgist who brought with him knowledge of gas centrifuge technologies that he had acquired through his position at the classified URENCO uranium enrichment plant in the Netherlands. Dr. Khan also reportedly brought with him stolen uranium enrichment technologies from Europe. He was put in charge of building, equipping and operating Pakistan's Kahuta facility, which was established in 1976. Under Khan's direction, Pakistan employed an extensive clandestine network in order to obtain the necessary materials and technology for its developing uranium enrichment capabilities." http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/nuke/index.html
