Jordan and US sign new deal

AMMAN: The US has signed an accord with Jordan aimed at supporting the peaceful development of the kingdom's nascent nuclear programme, the US Embassy said yesterday.

US Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman and Jordanian Minister for Scientific Research Khaled Toukan signed a memorandum of understanding on the sidelines of a nuclear energy summit in Vienna.

Under the agreement, "the two countries will work together to develop requirements for appropriate power reactors, fuel service arrangements, civilian training, nuclear safety, energy technology and other related areas," the US Embassy said.

1. SO Jordan, Israel, India can all have nuke reactors

but Iran cannot. I am not for Iran having nuke reactors because I do think them having an A-Bomb is bad yet the double-standard is overwhelming.

2. Doesn't Pakistan have a bomb or two?

I dunno. Maybe Iran's nukes aren't the real issue.

6. To quote Tom Lehrer in 1965..

"Now Luxembourg is next to go
And who knows, maybe Monaco.
We'll try to stay serene and calm
When Alabama gets the bomb!"
