The Iranians invested so poorly in some of their oil infrastructure that they actually can build some case for nuclear power. I haven't heard anything similar for the Saudis, but it's possible. And, if you can run off of solar power, as the Saudis could, why would you choose an energy source that has serious waste issues as nuclear does? Do they really want nuclear energy, or is it another cover for nuclear weapons? If they really just want the energy, are they just kind of energy-stodgy, so that it's never occurred to them there are other options? Does anyone know why the Saudis want nuclear power?

We can't even sign a treaty to ban cluster bombs.

But we have to be proud at all times, right?

And how about some "preconditions" before we talk to the Saudis? Democracy and human rights at the least, right? Exactly right Jazz. And how about some “preconditions” before we talk to the Saudis?
