Who is being naive Nano?

Iran is refining to 20% while weapons require >90%.
Or perhaps you know more than the IAEA - in which case they would probably appreciate receiving your evidence.

You should move on from that political canard.

So what did Ahmadinejad actually say? To quote his exact words in farsi:
"Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad."

That passage will mean nothing to most people, but one word might ring a bell: rezhim-e. It is the word "Regime", pronounced just like the English word with an extra "eh" sound at the end. Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the country or Israel the land mass, but the Israeli regime. This is a vastly significant distinction, as one cannot wipe a regime off the map. Ahmadinejad does not even refer to Israel by name, he instead uses the specific phrase "rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods" (regime occupying Jerusalem).

So this raises the question.. what exactly did he want "wiped from the map"? The answer is: nothing. That's because the word "map" was never used. The Persian word for map, "nagsheh", is not contained anywhere in his original farsi quote, or, for that matter, anywhere in his entire speech. Nor was the western phrase "wipe out" ever said. Yet we are led to believe that Iran's President threatened to "wipe Israel off the map", despite never having uttered the words "map", "wipe out" or even "Israel".

The quote translated directly to English:
"The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time".

Just so I am not misquoted or misconstrued, nor am I naive.

I was just pointing out that we hold no moral high ground in the argument against Iran having Nuclear Power

When

On account of our Climate Change fanaticism we (THE UK) intend to build new Nuke Stations on 8 sites across the UK in the next few years http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13887579

and we (THE UK) have Trident http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Trident_programme

So despite the implied intent (or otherwise)

We (The UK - with France in the same boat, and equally the US) in our current position cannot dictate to any Country that they should not have Nuclear Power



Now if you put the boot on the other foot for a while knowing the above just how annoying must it be if the US or the UK told you that you cannot develop Nuclear Power and as you have we will impose trade sanctions on your Country... as you might develop Nuclear Weapons

That kind of incongruous justice must make your head explode


Now if we were dismantling and decommissioning, things would be different.

Maybe but our actions in the UK are not going to make one ha'porth of difference


meanwhile.....
