Less drastic measures should be tried first. For many years there was following approach to rogue states: contain it long enough, and it will implode because of inherent inconsistencies.

Back when reality was on this planet, the way we dealt with rogue people like the South during the Civil War, was to put up a naval blockade. Because this is a less drastic measure and because this works, few people are for it when they could talk to Iran or even bomb Iran.

Police states are very consistent, they consistently continue existing.

Hi conned! You know the spittle flying off your lips is very unattractive and it can’t be good for your monitor.

I can remember them only because you kept one. Thanks, I guess.

While heavy water can be used in the creation of fusion bombs, there is an even more worrisome use, for the heavy water generator itself. The fuel used to produce heavy water – neutron emitters – can also be used as the detonator for nuclear bombs. They’re what make fission bombs explode, instead of just melt down.

Now Iran can claim an industrial / scientific use for neutron emitters, and there will probably be someone dopey or multiculturalist enough to supply them. And if a little bit happens to find its way into an Israel-bound nuke, well we can hardly blame the Iranians for that, right?

But I cannot tell a lie, it wasn’t. And just to show you what a big person I am, I won’t delete your comment.

And in the interests of truth, I will go on to say that I’ve never been good at spelling. I haven’t a clue why I got an “outstanding” in it in third grade.

But what I really want to know is: what’s up with spellcheck? Why didn’t it catch the error?

I already knew you were a big person. As for the spell check thang [sic], I guess writting is the act of producing a writ…e.g., of habeus corpus.

At present time I cannot see any viable solution acceptable to US public. Alas!
