I also have a problem with allowing the lead terrorism sponsoring state to make any steps towards nuclearization.

[SlowwHand]

Oh Hell. I'm in agreement with French Socialists.

Im in agreement with them, and it doesnt bother me in the slightest

Commie traitors, the lot of you!

[SlowwHand]

We're commie traitors too, LOTM. Oh, woe is us.

Well I don't think the French socialists really like the Iranian government. It is, after all, one of the more conservative governments out there.

She commited a blunder earlier this week, while visiting the Lebanese parliament. Apparently an Hezbollah deputy approached her and told her that Israel was like nazi Germany and she didn't react to the comment or expressed reserves.

Heck, I'd have just stood there, stumped. "What the f... has this guy been smoking?"

That has been her position for a while.

During the Socialist primary, (where she had two competitors, who only got 20% each), she was the only one who didn't want Iran to have a civilian nuclear programme. The others just rejected military nukes for Iran.

I imagine Ségolène Royal is trying to woo votes both from the ecologist side and from the Jewish side.

Yup.

Though her position predates this blunder.

Also, the right-wing tried to stir some hysteria about her merely meeting Hezbollah MPs. I guess that she disgusted quite a few Jewish voters doing that, and she wants them back.

civilian nuclear programmes should be restricted to the United States, and maybe the UK, if Tony Blair really begs.

Civilian nuclear programs simply should not exist.

Nuclear fission was a bad idea to begin with, and has not improved much over the years. Got a bit saver, but it's still risky. In fact global terrorism adds a new factor to the risk. Meanwhile the basic problems (nuclear waste, lack of uranium to make a significant contribution to world energy supply, etc) are still the same.

Vladimir Putin approves of this message Europe most definitely should not pursue unsafe nuclear technology Why, with Russia next door, you'll always have energy....
