Ahmadinejad gets warm welcome in Bolivia, where Iran has funded hospital, milk plants

Iran does not exploit Bolivia and Bolivians as the USA does, Iran really helps the Bolivians in terms of science, technology and agriculture.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

The only thing Iran wants is Bolivia's uranium so it can make more nukes to nuke the US with. It isn't "funding" things half a world away for nothing. It will expect our uranium in return.

Investmetn in Uranium would require millions of dollars, from exploration to extraction, the amount of the reserves are unknown due to lack of investment in the quantification work. Ahmadinejad is merely looking for allies to be accepted in the nuclear club against the US. Unfortunately his pursuit will end up in the US bombing Iran's nuclear plants before they're able to reach weapon's grade, say 1-2 years from now.

If people REALLY cared about nuclear proliferation, we would see it in their actions. I would like to see the U.S.A, Russia, China and all countries to dismantley ALL of their nuclear weapons starting next month. Hell will freeze over first if such thing would ever happen. The trugh is that Nuclear proliferation is actually encouraged by the fact that there are many countries aroung the world or neighbors doing their own weapons and things etc etc. Why in the world would someone want NOT to pursue their own programs? Objectively Speaking, Iran HAS LEGITIMATE SECURITY CONCERNS, IT IS NEXT TO IRAQ, NEAR PAKISTAN, CHINA ETC, AND NEXT TO IRAQ WHICH IS FULL OF US TROOPS. SO WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO PURSUE A NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM TO SECURE YOUR COUNTRY? IF YOU ARE AN IRANIAN YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND, JUST AS IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR COUNTRY HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS. ACTUALLY AND IRONICALLY THE NUCLEAR RACE WAS BEGUN BY THE U.S.A., WHICH THEN LED TO RUSSIA TO CREATE ITS OWN BOMB, THEN CHINA, THEY PAKISTAN ETC ETC, SO MY ANSWER IS THAT THERE IS NO COUNTRY WHICH HONESTLY CARES ABOUT STOPPING NUCLEAR PROLIF. THEY ONLY SAY THEY ARE AGAINST THIS BECAUSE OF POLITICS, OR WANT TO LOOK RESPONSIBLE ETC. I SEE THAT THEY ONLY THING THAT WILL END NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION IS NUCLEAR WAR BETWEEN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES, WE WE SEE THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF RADIATION, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, I THINK THEN, THE PEOPLE WILL FORCE THEIR GOVERNMENTS TO SHUT DOWN ALL NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR GOOD, BUT OTHERWISE ITS A GREAT JOKE FOR ME TO HEAR COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE US OR RUSSIA, TELLING IRAN TO DISARM OR STOP THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM. ACTUALLY BY TELLING THIS----THEY HAVE ENCOURAGED IRAN TO DEVELOP AND INCREASE THEIR PROGRAM. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING, OR BEFORE JUDGING THEM, FIRST LOOK AT YOURSELF AND SEE IF YOU ARE NOT DOING THE SAME THING. IF THE PERSON SEES THAT YOU ARE DOING THE SAME-----HE WILL NEVER LISTEN AND CHANGE. BUT IF HE SEE YOU ARE HONEST THEN MOST LIKELY HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU.
A MILITARY OPTION AGAINST IRAN WOULD NOT WORK, IRAN HAS JUST TOO MANY HIDDEN SITES OF NUCLEAR UNDERGROUND FACILITIES, A FULL INVASSION COSTING TRILLIONS, WITH AN OCCUPATION OF IRAN FOR TWENTY YEARS WOULD PROBABLY STOP IT, THEY AGAIN THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST TO RALLY AGAINST THE WEST, OIL WOULD PROBABLY BE CUT OFF, WE WOULD PROBABLY PAYING $20.00 DOLLARS PER GALLONS, I THINK MILITARY ANALYSTS WOULD HAVE TO CAREFULLY THINK THE RAMIFFICATIONS OF A MILITARY OPTION. I AM NOT A FAN OF IRAN, BUT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TALKED OBJECTIVELY WITHOUT PREFERENCES FOR SOME COUNTRIES BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN SUCH COUNTRY OR NOT, BUT IT REQUIRES OBJECTIVITY.
