I wonder how far along Iran actually is with their attempt to get where they want with this? I know Russia is against it so they won't get any help from there. But would any country actually help with this? Seems doubtful, unless the countries wanted to unite in their cause?

Well, if its ok for Israel to hold nuclear weapons in the face of Irans possessing them, one must also then accept Iran holding weapons in the face of Israel possessing them.

I remember hearing about North Korea having fired up their reactors again. Someone (from South Korea) told me a couple of days ago that North Korea also fired off 2 test missiles since they fired it back up. Was there news on that at all? Has anyone heard anything?
