On a side note let's be realistic, I want to show you guys something that has value to the debate about nuclear weapons. The IAEA is trying everything it can to get non-proliferation around the world. A question was posed to Mohamed ElBaradei at the Carnegie international nuclear conference..this is the question. "Shouldn't we start off by absolving the weapons from the U.S"
ElBaradeis response: "We should start off with the countries trying to get the weapons, then build our way to bigger problems like the U.S"
Unfortunately for the IAEA it has a budget of 200$ million a year which is very low considering the importance of the cause, the boston red sox team uses the same amount in a year, which ElBaradei noted laughing.
It is unfortunate that we can not absolve nuclear weapons, but I am inclined to believe that maybe Iran is just building a nuclear weapon to flaunt its neighbours not to start a new nuclear war. These are my assumptions of course.
