First, it has started to appear around the media that the Non-Aligned Movement (essentially, Third World countries who were not thrilled with taking crap off either the United States or the Soviets) supports Iran’s nuclear power program. This is true, and has been for a while, but as yet had only appeared in the Iranian state media, which nobody pays any attention to (and shouldn’t).
Second, Mohamed ElBaradei has suggested that the Iranian enrichment program be capped instead of stopped. Finally, we have someone with a little bit of sense in this debate; unfortunately, he wants to try to slow down their program, which won’t work. We would suggest that they be assured of some customers–probably domestic ones–so that the enrichment facility would be in use and could’t be diverted.
