Just because I walk into my classroom at school and inhale doesn't mean 
there will be any oxygen in that breath.  Maybe all of the oxygen will have 
randomly  moved to the top of the room.  Again within your last post you 
sighted several reasons why (Pu-??? = nuclear weapons) is really not 
conjecture as it applies to Iran.  It's like arguing about what the meaning 
of is, is.  The larger point is why hasn't the media told us the facts. 
They pretend that your statement above -  "Just because a nation is using 
nuclear power doesn't mean that they are planning on using the resulting 
plutonium to build nuclear weapons." should really be taken seriously when 
considering Iran.  You don't even believe that.  Shouldn't they be making at 
least a bit of an effort to educate the people about the fact that Uranium 
is really, really hard to process where as Pu is not.  And it is obvious to 
anyone who knows that, that the reason for nuclear power production in Iran 
has nothing to do with electricity?
