In the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare greeted Alice by hollering at her "No room! No room!" and tried to shoo her away from their mostly-empty table.
Well, that's us. North Korea and Iran have every right as sovereign nations to use nuclear power generation facilities for peaceful purposes. They are both apparently well on the way to doing so. And
- here's the sticky wicket -
both nations are governed by human rights-violating tyrants who wish in public that they had more power and/or fewer neighbors. Oh, and the same technology they are looking to start using has the potential to be turned into the most destructive device ever invented.
It's an interesting question: does the guy who threatens everyone on his street with knife violence get to have kitchen knives? How threatening does he have to get before you go in and take all his knives away? And then what does he use to cut his tomatoes for his sammiches?
Well anyway, apparently high technology for nuclear power is more important than feeding the people of North Korea or getting them electrical power . . . it turns out that the NorKs have a couple thousand uranium enrichment centrifuges going and we "didn't" know about it.
. . . strictly for peaceful purposes, of course . . . .
