I've Been Thinking:

Iran is good at playing the Diplomacy and Media game. And getting better.

The Iranians are close to coming to an international agreement to suspend - not stop, not destroy - their nuclear development. The caveat is that the agreement must be secret so that it does not appear as if they, Iran, were intimidated and forced to back down by the enemies of Islam.

Now Russia has announced that they will deliver the nuclear fuel necessary for Iran's nuclear reactors starting in March of 2007. As it is Russian contractors are already building two nuclear power plants in Iran. And guess what, the Iranians are not happy with the construction timetable, they want the reactor finished more quickly.

What this all means is that the Iranians get everything they want and even more.
If they are good at hiding things, and I think they are, Iran can and will continue to secretly develop a nuclear program with fuel that is better than anything they could possibly process on their own.

They are good. Really good.
