Mahmood to give nuclear technology to all Middle East!

Iran has frequently made its nuclear ambitions known.  They are not part of the nuclear club, and they have been shown the example of how to join: Pakistan and India both joined belatedly after setting them nuclear bombs in a show of force meant to intimidate the each other.  It seems to have worked - all has been quiet on that front for a while.  

Iran has also made it known that they will be obtaining nuclear techology regardless of what the world does to stop their attempts.  They have even gone so far as to make generic (but scary) threats against nations who attempt to block their efforts to obtain nuclear technology at the United Nations.

After all, what can the world do once a nation has harnessed atomic energy?  Accept and move on seems to be the likely scenario.  Let's talk about Ahmadinejad's scary offer after the flip...

Last Saturday, Ahmadinejad made the scarily generous offer of sharing the nuclear technology he obtains with the whole Middle East.  Imagine that nuclear techology isn't obtained only by Iran, but is in the hands of every two-bit king and despot in the whole region?  That radioactive stew is truly a scary consequence of Bush never engaging with Iran to ensure a good solution to this nuclear standoff he seems to be having with Iran.  And these delusions that the US is going to somehow invade Iran is a fool's errand - we passed up the chance to talk to them after we knocked off Iraq.

I haven't even attempted to deal with the historical roots of this issue, which you can find in this lengthly history on Iran, by Lestatdelc.

For additional analysis, I am bowing to others with additional knowledge of this subject.  To me, it is a very scary scenario, and is probably an additional means of ratcheting up the pressure on Bush to sit down and talk.  After all, we have seen North Korea go through the exact same motions, and they have now obtained the bomb, even if only partially (they set off a dud a few months ago, and are likely to see some sort of UN punishment handed down soon).
