Why does this bother me?

Russia and Iran teaming up on a nuclear reactor:




OK, I'm obviously a nuclear power proponent. But something about putting the combination of "Russia", "Iran", and "nuclear" together gives me a minor case of the willies. Here's hoping this works out without any "complications".

But apparently this might be an important element in getting Iran to ship out its uranium for enrichment, so if powering up the plant gets us there, well, I'll take the willies.

Iran nuclear enrichment -- no probs for Ahmadinejad


Not to go into all the news reports, but Western nations are still a bit skeptical about this. We'll have to see.
