Russia: Land of New Opportunity; Land of Stupidity

CNN: Iran, Russia nuclear deal 'close'

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran and Russia say they are close to finalizing a long-delayed protocol on returning spent nuclear fuel to Russia, paving the way for the launch of a Russian-built nuclear power plant in southern Iran in 2006.

Russia has said it will not ship nuclear fuel to Iran until both countries sign an agreement under which all spent fuel would be returned to Russia. The agreement is intended to prevent Iran from using spent fuel to make nuclear weapons.

A little known fact about me: I have a nasty mental condition that prevents me from entering into international diplomacy -- it's called memory.

Does Russia not remember who Iran is? Apparently not.

What incentive does Iran have to uphold the agreement once they have the nuclear powerplant of their dreams?

Seriously.

If Iran wants both nuclear power AND spent nuclear fuel to make weapons, what will stop them? The paper they signed? Might that paper not look similar to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty?

It's IRAN!!! Come on, people! Axis of Evil!
