This is might be true but after the entire British media swallowed the lies Tony Blair told to justify the 2003 illegal war against Iraq, I would not place much credit reports of on Iran’s alleged nuclear activities by the British media.

'.......with the third largest oil reserves in the world,.....' - A typical argument used by 'critics', but what has that got to do with nuclear and alternative energy production? Nothing, it is a basic and transparent attempt to suggest that Iran does not need alternative energy production programes - so therefore any work on such programs must be 'suspicious'. Oil is Irans main export commodity - it is simply non-sensical to suggest that it should be all burnt up in power stations instead of being sold for much needed cash. Also, in these times of 'global warming' should it not be applauded that big, dirty, oil, gas, and coal burning plants are not being built? Reports like these in the British press can be traced straight back to Israel, indeed as a reader of certain Israeli newspapers I instantly recognised the argument 'from critics' which I have stated above - it crops up regularly. This is yet again the overt use of the media to 'soften up' the British public for 'sanctions' against Iran. As I have stated previously the drum beats for war are getting louder. Those calling for war should pause and thing for a moment - especially those living in the region. War is by its nature, unpredictable and dangerous, with a habit of spreading into areas considered `safe` or 'protected'. It matters not one bit what arsenal of high tech weapons one has at their disposal (as the US are finding out in Afghanistan against men and women armed only with small arms) as events on the ground can shift against you in unpredictable ways. Those calling for war should also consider that using high tech weapons may look easy and clean on a TV screen, especially when its all one sided - but in the real world, especially against an enemy that has a few high tech weapons of its own - things can get messy and out of control very quickly. No one should ever call for war unless they are prepared to see thier own land and their own people burning along with the enemy.

IT HAS STARTED! British media to be counted on to tell the truth! The road map to another war has been mapped. The only question is, can it succeed to get the ignorant US public to fall for this, again and again. Reading the articles in British paper is actually not necessary. Most people can actually write about the topic based on the well established formula, without having to bother and read the same story. But, the war drums are beating, and the public is going to be fleeced again. We got the financial crisis as the rosy predictions of "revenue" following Iraq and Afghanistan ventures. God only knows how much more these fiends want. They must think that people are living in luxury, and that we are in for a little belt tightening. Those who today have hard time just paying for their roofs over the head, beg to differ. But then who will ever listen to those....

Iran is dancing rings around the western democracies and laughing all the way to Nuclear Bomb capability. They are determined to have this weapon of mass destruction and in the hands of religious fanatics, where the loss of a few million lives means nothing, the World, not just Israel is going to be in mortal danger. How long before Hamas and Hezbollah receive radio active material to put in their Iranian supplied rockets to fire at the Israeli towns? When this happens, Teheran will really see what "disproportional" response is!
