OK.
Fact: There is NO evidence for a nuclear weapons program. None. It doesn't exist. If we accept the Khan-blueprint thing as fact, that is not proof of a weapons program. It simply doesn't follow. Although if it is true, and I'm inclined to think it is, it does constitute a breach of the NPT.
I'm all for the NPT. I think it is an important piece of legislation. Major nuclear powers like the US and UK are in breach of it, so should they be allowed to act as judge, jury and executioner when it comes to Iran?

So can we be constructive? What would our advice to Iran be? They live in a world where the strongest nations do not observe the same treaties we are demanding they observe. They live in a world where the strongest nations commit acts of terrorism against Iran's neighbours. What would our advice be?
