It was another huge mistake of Bill Clinton’s that he let both India and Pakistan go nuclear without saying a word!

Naturally, these projects would be assorted with a maintenance of minimum 20 years contract, that only providers can handle ; it will be the case for Lybia ;

I am not a fan of Khadafi, but people in these countries need this energy ; otherwise they will turn more radically against us, “the rich westerner fat pigs”

The problems lie both with the technology they use (most of these countries aren’t capable or willing to maintain the more expensive and complex light water reactors and instead vie for the heavier forms whose by products can and have been used for nuclear weapons) and then the societies they maintain in their countries. Just look at the people who would be taking over Egypt if their internal shift finally completes itself with the Muslim Brotherhood establishing a majority. Can we, as “westerners” really expect them to be friendly with us after our support of a dictator whose imprisoned and executed members of their group just because they challenged his power base? Take that factor and expand it exponentially to accommadate the level of extremism that has grown across Northern Africa and you can see why this is troubling to those that understand international affairs. It’s not a desire to keep the 3rd world in the 19th century but instead a distrust of what the future will bring when the people who align themselves with us are no longer in control. Now the fact that the situation is often created by our own negligence and bungling is a different situation all together.

The problem is that if we don’t support Mubarak and his government, who do we think will step-in in our absence? There’s a reason that most of their infrastructure looks like old Soviet designs from the 60’s and 70’s.

well, I am a bit aware of civil nuclear, I live nearby chimneys, and most of my customers are nuclear engeneers ;

it is essential if these countries get the access to this energy that we get the maintenance, dischargement and chargement of uranium sticks…

which are incredibly difficult and expensive to manufacture ; this is our garanty ; I think, there are only 2 place in EU , one in germany, one in France, the rest is in Russia,; one knows how the russian stuff is credible

And Jen, as far as Mubarak and the bomb go, don’t get me wrong, he’d be just as happy as any dictator to get something like that to use for fending off his exterior enemies. But, his most pressing matter is to come up with a way to ensure his and his son’s power domestically and figuring out a way to marginalize the Brotherhood. Cheap electricity for everyone? He sees that as a start.

sure this kind of energy will be expensive for a country like Egypt, but instead of buying arms, it could be envisageable !

it’s not a problem for Lybia, they got the exange money with oil !

but they have to buy back their reffined oil, as does Iran, as does Irak I suppose too…

he, why not giving the contract of surveillance to BlackWaters ?

Pour la derniere fois, ces pays arabs ne veulent pas la puissance nuclear pour l’electricite–ils le veulent pour les bombes!
C’est ca.

For the folks at home in the USA, they don’t want or need nuke power for civilian uses. They want a nuke.
The big tell was Mubarrak saying they wanted to preserve Egypt’s oil and gas reserves…well, they don’t have any oil and gas reserves worth speaking about.

I know they want the bomb, but I still remain positive, intead of always increasing the auctions of defense, we could try to be pragmatic and again and again make them envisage a wealthier future ; you managed to convince Khadafi, then we can still esper …

May I remind you how it was we “convinced” Khadafi? It is the only dialogue understood by these (Islamo)tyrants.

he finally understood with decades of boycotts that he could be richer like his religion fellows, the Saoudi, and his country too, if he collaborated with western countries. :sigh:

Again, wrong fish

Check your history…he was ‘convinced’ due to a direct bombing of his personal residence, which killed some of his family, and the threat of further military action. You are right, however, it was very effective. When the thunder rolls in Iran, Egypt will suddenly be quiet.

Uh….no….

but he managed Tenere and Lokerbee (not sure though, for the later, it might have been Iranian with lybian hands)

All the more reason for the military solution. You have made my case. c’est fin

Of course you don’t know the variants of the bearded clam, your expertise is in the area of the starfish, the chocolate starfish, asslicker.

I’ll put the Penthouse Forum away when you retire your Playgirl. …and you know 9 year olds, don’t you Sullen?

You see, I know a bearded clam when I see it and you, political fish, are it’s poster child. Change your name to Pol ish (and leave out those other worthless letters) and you would have a perfect moniker. You two aren’t very creative and must have an intellect of a starfish. Keep trying though.

A kippshit and an ass licker.
Told me it’s his favorite “pass time”.

did I hit your moral again ?

anyway, I had like a definition of it : what is allowed to you that isn’t to the others ?

India is getting russian nuclear reactors
