    Oh, Hell

    How many people will remember that it was the US which gave Iran its first breeder reactor?

    I suspect it will be the same number who recall that it was the US which first gave Iraq chemical weapons and then gave both instructions and intelligence to Iraq on how to best use them against Iran.

    We now live with the legacy.

    O/T to Lotus Foot----------Fuck you.
