[ RadSafe ] Recent Events

[franz.schoenhofer at chello.at]

Sorry Howard,

Are you joking? Where do you get your informations from?

Thinking of all what has happened during the last two decades, all the hatred and popaganda distributed by all sides I am surprised to read, that "Persians" - you obviously mean "Iranians" - showed sympathy for and like the USA!!!!! According to you they also like Israelis. Maybe you also like these fake stories about the immediate construction of the Iranian nuclear bomb with uranium enriched to
5%, in close relation to the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction which were never found, becaused they did not exist. 

You as a medical doctor should be able to distinguish between facts and paranoia created because of political reasons!

I understand the concern about "fearmongers" regarding nuclear power, but why is so much absurd fearmongering as for deadly danger from Iran distributed on Radsafe? To know, that newsmedia trive on hysteria, fear and associated problems connected to paranoia should be common knowledge!

Of course this comes from a non US citizen and is intended to be directed to a socalled "International Radiation Protection List", where practically no non-US contibutors can be found since long - because of the US leaning mass of postings. 

Best regards anyway to all who like my open opinion and my direct words!

Franz
