Iraqi Minister Backs Iran on Nuclear Research

Heck of a job BushCo...

3. Wouldn't it be interesting if Iraq decided to go nu ku ler

They are not a signatory so they are not restricted. Wouldn't that be a poke in the eye?

5. I doubt you could build a reactor in a country that chaotic

And who in their right mind would sell the Iraqis parts to start up a nuclear program?
