So far, I'm with Franz on this one. The IAEA has no business
imposing sanctions on anyone over bomb building. Funny, isn't it, how the
USSR could have all the nukes it wanted, along with a vast fleet of
missiles to deliver them, and no one said anything -- including the
IAEA. The same goes for Communist China, and it's still a going concern
(for anyone who might want to offer the excuse that the USSR is no
more). What goes for the IAEA also goes for the UN Security Council. It's
not running the world.

nuclear weapons, no one will dare to prevent them from making more." The
same could be said of the afore-mentioned and now defunct USSR, and the
current regime in Peking. In fact, I remember seeing a news item online in
the last week or two wherein Putin said Russia might use nukes in the
future in the need arose. Something doesn't match up here. Does Israel
have The Bomb, or is it only fooling around still trying to separate enough
U to build one? (hint, hint)
