Iran's Nukes
By Micah Halpern

Wednesday February 16, 2005

I've Been Thinking:

The hoopla over today's explosion in Iran, in the port city of Deylam located north of Busheur, is a typical reaction.

This explosion signifies the problems that we face and points out our own limitations with regard to Iran.

Why the commotion?
Deylam is 100 miles away from the Busheur.
Busheur is a military base with an $800 million nuclear reactor project.
In our world, that is like saying that there was a small explosion in Philadelphia and asking whether Washington DC was safe.

Israel said they were not responsible.
The US said the same.
It probably was just an accident.
It could have been a gasoline delivery truck that exploded.
The problem is that we just do not know, and we will probably never really know for sure.

We know so little about Iran, even less about their program let alone their people.
Questions about Iran's nuclear energy and nuclear weapons abound.
Our reaction to whatever it really was today points out how on edge we all are.
