Evidence at Last?

Why does a nation need to enrich Uranium in order to generate electricity?

It doesn't.

It needs to enrich Uranium in order to produce Plutonium.

That would be the core of a nuclear weapon.

Guess where plutonium has been found?

In Iran:

International Atomic Energy experts have found unexplained plutonium and enriched uranium traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday.

The report prepared for next week's meeting of the 35-nation IAEA also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the agency's attempts to investigate suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program that have lead to fears it might be interested in developing nuclear arms. As well, the four-page paper made available to The Associated Press confirmed that Iran continues uranium enrichment experiments in defiance of the U.N. Security Council.

Earlier Tuesday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran would soon celebrate completion of its nuclear fuel program and claimed the international community was ready to accept it as a nuclear state.

Iran has been locked in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program. The United States and its European allies have been seeking a U.N. Security Council resolution imposing sanctions on Tehran for refusing to suspend uranium enrichment.

"Initially, they (the U.S. and its allies) were very angry. The reason was clear: They basically wanted to monopolize nuclear power in order to rule the world and impose their will on nations," Ahmadinejad told a news conference.

"Today, they have finally agreed to live with a nuclear Iran, with an Iran possessing the whole nuclear fuel cycle," he said. He did not elaborate.

President Bush said Monday there was no change in his position that Iran must first suspend uranium enrichment before there can be any dialogue with Tehran.

"Our focus of this administration is to convince the Iranians to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions. That focus is based on our strong desire for there to be peace in the Middle East. And an Iran with a nuclear weapon would be a destabilizing influence," Bush said Monday.

Of course, Iran has every right to develop nuclear weapons. It's all a part of the "nuclear fuel cycle" after all. And it's not as if they have a well-trained terrorist organization capable of striking targets far outside of the Middle East. Besides, what's Iran done? Threaten to obliterate Israel? Deny the Holecaust? Commit an aggregious act against the American Mission in Tehran in 1979?

That's no reason to get all upset. Silly Westerners: why should y'all get so hot in the collar. Russia and China don't see a problem. And they're pro-western! So there!

Keep whistling. There's nothing to see here!
