See, if you had actually kept up with the FACTS of what's going on, then you'd agree too: ANY nuclear technology is "dual use" because ANY nuclear technology can be SPIN-DOCTORED and MISCHARACTERIZED as "dual use" because any technology "could be used to make nukes". That's why the Iranians specifically insist on their RIGHT according to the NPT to have access to all civilian nuclear technology, whether the US claims that the technology in question as "dual use" or not, because they know the old "could be used to make nukes" claim is just a pretext to deprive Iran of its legal "inalienable" rights. The US has said, for example, that a light-water reactor that is under IAEA safeguards and has received the IAEA's OK should not exist in Iran because it "could be used to make nuclear weapons" - why? Not because the reactor is a heavy water reactor that produces plutonium - nope. Not because it produces the right isotope - nope. But because, (According to the USA) the light-water reactor which has received the OK of the IAEA COULD BE used to train technologists who COULD use their knowledge to POSSIBLY build nuclear weapons - and so no Iranian should ever have any nuclear technology. See, how technology that the IAEA ITSELF says is safe can be characterized as "dual use"? That's my point. If you buy into that line of argument, then ANYTHING "could be used to make nukes." My pocket calculator "Could be used to make nukes" Learning calculas "could be used to make nukes" Get it? Oh, do try to keep up. |
