Could be good news. What do you think?

It's probably just a rumour, just like the rumours the Iraqi opposition spread about the Iraqi WMDs. I wouldn't consider an Iranian propaganda radio funded by the US very reliable source. But if it's true, it's a murder, just like the murder of that former Russian spy in Britain, and should be solved and the culprits should be punished. It wouldn't be a smart thing to do by the Israelis to have murdered that scientist. If Iran is indeed planning to build nuclear weapons, this could delay them but not stop them. What's sure is that now Iran would have a reason to retaliate and not many would blame them. However, if Israel is capable of murdering UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, murdering an Iranian scientist wouldn't give them a guilty conscience.

retaliation by Iran would be sweet

Khamenei seems to have more faith in Bush being reasonable than I do:

"Some people say that the U.S. president is not prone to calculating the consequences of his actions," Khamenei said in remarks broadcast on state television, "but it is possible to bring this kind of person to wisdom."

"U.S. policymakers and analysts know that the Iranian nation would not let an invasion go without a response," Khamenei added.

The USA does a lottery every year, where they assign 50,000 green cards. As far as I know, millions apply, and the US has no need to do that. It is enough to go to any US consulate to see the lines of people applying for visas.

I'm no lover of the USA. But the fact that many many millions are willing to go there is undeniable.

Aw c'mon tin, wouldn't you want to live in a country where you can walk into your local corner store and purchase a gallon of vodka and a box of .38 cal. handgun ammo at the same time?

;) :D

I know you know that one of my biggest imperfections is the lack of alcohol consumption :D

But maybe you're right, and that's why I don't like the USA: I'm bad at aiming too ;) :laugh:

Putin: U.S. force encouraging nuclear ambitions
POSTED: 9:10 a.m. EST, February 10, 2007

MUNICH, Germany (AP) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin blasted the United States Saturday for the "almost uncontained" use of force in the world, and for encouraging other countries to acquire nuclear weapons.

He also criticized U.S. plans for missile defense systems and NATO's expansion.

Putin told a security forum attracting top officials that "we are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force in international relations" and that "one state, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way.

"This is very dangerous, nobody feels secure anymore because nobody can hide behind international law," Putin told the gathering.

Putin did not elaborate on specifics and did not mention the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.

But he voiced concern about U.S. plans to build a missile defense system in eastern Europe -- likely in Poland and the Czech Republic -- and the expansion of NATO as possible challenges to Russia.
