I've Been Thinking:

The Russians delivered the first load of uranium to Iran yesterday.
We are traveling down a dangerous road.

Quite frankly, I was shocked by President Bush's comments.
"If the Russians are willing to do that, which I support, then the Iranians do not need to learn how to enrich."
"If the Iranians accept that uranium for a civilian nuclear power plant, then there's no need for them to learn how to enrich."

Theoretically, yes, there is no "need" for the Iranians to learn how to enrich on their own, but we are talking about Iran. And there is still no way for us, for the US, for the West, to monitor what Iran is really doing with the freshly arrived nuclear material because there are no inspections.

Iranians say it will be used for civilian purposes - but there is no transparency.
Russians say that the Iranians promise to keep it in one place - but that is very small comfort.

If we are not given the ability to monitor Iran, Iran should not get anything nuclear.
Trusting the Russians is risky business.
The Russians are prostitutes, they will do anything for the money.
