1. They should ship the fuel and start the reactors. Iran burns a lot of dangerous
fossil fuels and dumps lots of dangerous fossil fuel waste into the atmosphere.

This practice threatens all of humanity. Although the anti-nuclear industry couldn't care less, having to service all the clients at Gazprom and at Walmart, Iran dumped 400 million tons of dangerous fossil fuel waste into the atmosphere in 2004, and that's only considering the dangerous fossil waste carbon dioxide.

We can expect of course, that the anti-nuclear industry will work to help Dick Cheney et al whip up hysteria about this - much as they did in the lead-up to Iraq with that screaming about Uranium!!!!!!! - but the Iranian people have a right to nuclear reactors, as does all of humanity.
