Subject: RE: BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea?
Well, France certainly violated its commitment to the NPT in assisting Israel's acquisition of a nuclear weapon. While Iran says it is not trying to produce a nuclear weapon. It says, quite rightly, that the NPT gives Iran the right to develop nuclear technology for the purpose of producing energy, and it is entitled to enrich uranium for this purpose. The concentration levels that they are able to achieve with their centrifuges is proof that they are not capable of producing weapons grade uranium. Iran is the only NPT country whose right to nuclear energy is being challenged, while France has not been sanctioned for its violation of the NPT. More of the double standard at work.
