  I doubt that anything will "quell" Western suspicions that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon. I think that's because the West is more interested in denying nuclear technology to Iran than it is denying it the bomb. So it will always keep this line of criticism alive.

  There are about 120 "non-aligned" nations, Iran being one. Over 100 of them agree that Iran has the right to the full energy cycle. Eventually all these nations will need alternative energy sources.

  The question is: where will they go for nuclear energy? Will they go to the great powers who they are more or less oxymoronically aligned against? Or will they go to one of their own?

  The West has economic reasons for denying Iran the nuclear cycle. Fear of the bomb is simply a tool.

  Anyone else agree with this?

  Care to be specific? Who is 'the West' and what are these economic reasons?

  undecidedbout08,

  "the West" would be the same "the West" as mentioned in the article and the economic reasons would be the same as mentioned in my post. I'm assuming that you know which nations are leading the charge on allegations of Iranian nuclear weapons development and that you are aware of the economic value of controlling energy sources.

  The left loves their conspiracy theories.

  And Dick Cheney loves his secret energy plan.
