Report: Russian fuel going to Iran plant
MOSCOW - Russia will ship fuel to a controversial atomic power plant it is building in Iran by March under a deal signed Tuesday, news agencies reported, as Tehran's nuclear chief met with a Russian security officer at the Kremlin.

The agreement signed by Sergei Shmatko, head of the state-run company Atomstroiexport, and Mahmoud Hanatian, vice president of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, should allay Iran's complaints that Moscow is dragging its feet on supplying fuel for the Bushehr plant.

It will also renew concerns by the West, which accuses Tehran of seeking to enrich uranium in order to build nuclear weapons.

ITAR-Tass reported that Shmatko met Hanatian to sign an additional protocol setting out a time frame for starting up the Bushehr plant.

1. What's Russia doing in that part of the world?
Don't they realize that it is within BushAmerica's sphere of influence?

Jeez! What good is it to be The World's Only Superpower if people won't cooperate?

3. The US is only a "SuperPower" by force - certainly not by its wisdom
.
.
.

Can you imagine the US governed by the likes of Gandhi?

THEN

You would be showered with candies and flowers wherever you ventured

Instead of IEDs, suicide bombs and rpgs . . .

What a concept . .

(peace, that is)

(sigh)

5. Actually, the US has been on a threatening and killing spree for some time
.
.
.

But with this dang Internet thing,

Everyone talks to EVERYONE

I talk to China, Pakistan, England, etc., and y'all of course

and I read over 2 dozen international papers on-line - not much of the US stuff tho, it reads like a script - -

Bad move this Iraq thing when most everyone in the World can access gazillions of bytes of information on the net with a click of their finger.

And the US ain't very manys choice for "accurate" information.

I'd rather listen to the likes of Chavez or Putin than George Bush

That's my "rant"
