Bush Allows Iran to Build Nukes

By bogging down the majority of our military power in Iraq (and to a much lesser extent Afghanistan), and linking so much of our policy in the remainder of the Middle East to Israel, Bush has ensured that we do not have the means to enforce demands that Iran discontinue its nuclear program.

Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, told reporters in Vienna Iran had begun converting 37 tonnes of raw uranium into material which is fuel for nuclear centrifuges -- the machines that enrich uranium.

One nuclear expert has said that, if enriched, that would be enough material for five nuclear weapons.
Are you safer now than you were four years ago?
