I did some contracting work at Sellafield last year and most machines that weren't "office" machines were on Win 95 and a few were 3.11.

Mind, they are more stable than recent windows editions when used in business critical environments!

What is the problem with Iran having a nuclear capability?
Click to expand...

for energy, no problem at all but considering they are sitting on all that oil, bit odd

for weapons, big problem.

worth the risk to let them develop nuclear weapons ? each to their own thinking on this

israel has nukes as a deterent

if iran had them as a deterent then fine, but they are claiming to build them for power, not weapons.. do you believe this?


but the question is if iran had nukes " could they find their way into terrorist hands "

and be used against irans enemies in the west ?

you happy to take that risk ?

i trust that israels nukes will stay in israel , not so sure i feel the same about irans
 
Israel, the country exercising a plan of controlled starvation against people in Gaza, Israel a country that carries out military operations in international waters without a remit to do so.

Not at all, I have yet to see any valid reason as to why Iran can not have nuclear weapons.

i stated my reason,

it was that i do not trust them to not fall in to the wrong hands in the future

considering Iran is a known sponsor of terrorism

Considering that the US is also a known sponsor of terrorism that statement doesn't really mean much. As for Iran having nuclear weapons, I think that the day both Israel and Iran have them, they may well go to war which wouldn't be good for anybody. Queue the western countries joining the conflict to maintain the oil supply which our lifestyles depend on and Russia coming in because "those bullies in the US have started on Iran, we're gonna sort them out!" and we have World War 3

Wikipedia is quite good at explaining the translation controversy. I think this is the most relevant bit:

Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, agrees that Ahmadinejad's statement should be translated as, "the Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e eshghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad).[12] According to Cole, "Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to 'wipe Israel off the map' because no such idiom exists in Persian." Instead, "he did say he hoped its regime, i.e., a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse.

So while he wasnt perhaps being quite so dramatic as reported its not exactly friendly towards Israel. Plus hes said plenty of other stuff worthy of concern on this subject.
