I do respect the Powers that be, & pray for them too. Just also exercise my democratic right to think about what they are reported to be doing - which many well be different from what they are actually doing, you know what Media can be like, & comment on it occasionally.

Just because it's Iran saying it doesn't mean they not be actually starting up nuclear power-plants for power generation. Of course, this kind of reasonable thinking doesn't win points in these stupid macho "squaring up to each other" type things ( ... )
