Pres. Obama was not happy when he was told about the discovery of her secret nuclear plant in Iran. In his statement about this he stated it showed a “disturbing pattern” of evasion by Tehran. The president also can’t admit that this added urgency to the Geneva talks with world powers on October 1. Of course, Iranian officials deny everything saying they hoped the plant, which is under construction southwest of Tehran, would soon be ready enough to “blind” Iranian enemies and another was shocked that everybody was surprised they revealed its existence.

Iran, which insists its nuclear program is aimed at electricity generation rather than weapons production as feared by the West, will meet the United States and five other powers in the Swiss city of Geneva on Thursday.

The U.S. president warned Iran on Friday, September 25, it would face “sanctions that bite” if it did not come clean.

“This is a serious challenge to the global non-proliferation regime and continues a disturbing pattern of Iranian evasion,” he said on Saturday, said September 26,.

“That is why international negotiations with Iran scheduled for October 1 now take on added urgency,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday.

Britain, France and Germany have joined the United States in raising the prospect of new sanctions against Iran if it does not take steps to allay concerns about its nuclear program.

Russia also signaled a greater willingness to go along with sanctions while China said it favored a “dual track” approach of pressure and talks.

U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed “grave concern” in talks with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday and said Tehran had to show its intentions were peaceful.

“He emphasized that the burden of proof is on Iran,” Ban’s press office said in a statement.

Adding to the tension, Iranian media said Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards would hold missile defense exercises starting on Sunday and taking place over several days.

“COMPLETELY STUNNED”

Iran acknowledged it had a uranium enrichment facility near Qom for the first time on Monday in a letter to the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran’s atomic energy organization, said Iran had assumed the disclosure would be welcomed.

“We are completely stunned and we were anticipating that the Western countries would welcome this measure by Iran,” he said.

For those who would rather watch a movie and listen to another argument . . . You can easily get a movie download like “Gamer”, which is a high-concept action thriller set in the near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Or you could simply get one of the old sci-fi movies online and watch it. Anything is better than arguing.

U.S. officials said the disclosure was aimed at pre-empting an announcement by Western governments, which were aware of the site. The IAEA demanded immediate access.  Ahmadinejad said on September 25 the plant was about 18 months away from starting up, it was legal and open for IAEA inspection and Western powers would regret accusing Iran of hiding it.  Low-enriched uranium can be used as fuel for power plants while highly enriched uranium can be used to make bombs.

“It’s not a secret site,” Ahmadinejad told a news conference in New York where he was attending the U.N. General Assembly.

Salehi said the plant was about 100 km (60 miles) south of Tehran, toward Qom. “There was absolutely no necessity for us to make any announcement on the facility since we are a year-plus before its completion,” he said on state television.

Mohammad Mohammadi-Golpayegani, who heads the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying the plant would start running “soon.”

“This new plant, God willing, will soon become operational and will make the enemies blind,” the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted him as saying. Iran already has a uranium enrichment plant near the central city of Natanz.

The foreign minister of Israel, which has refused to rule out pre-emptive military action to stop Iran developing an atomic weapon, called for an “unequivocal” response.

“The disagreement (on whether Iran is developing military nuclear capability) has been done away with,” right-winger Avigdor Lieberman told Israel Radio.

Salehi did not say when an inspection would take place but it would be agreed with the IAEA.

Obama, who sought to engage Iran after taking office in January, said he remained committed to dialogue but Iran must cooperate with the IAEA.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy commission, warned the West against taking measures which he suggested could affect Tehran’s existing cooperation with the IAEA.

My Take: When you are the governments of this world only to realize that they cannot deal with religious fanatics. Iran, Iraq, and all the other Arab nations believe that their religion is the only religion and everybody else is infidels. Like most governments, they don’t know what the phrase “live and let live” means.

The Arab nations are a nation of tribes. Many of them still live by old superstitions and have very few modern conveniences like running water. They still wear jewelry that contains a fight symbol in tribal pendants. I doubt very much that they have anything as modern as spin rings, but they do have plenty of symbolism in their culture.

From what I have been told, the Quran preaches peace. However, I have seen an English version of it and it is more confusing than the King James Bible. In fact, one section actually talked about torture and taking hostages during war. Maybe it is because I am Christian that I cannot understand why any “Bible” would talk about torture. I was always taught to “love thy enemy as you would love thyself.” It also doesn’t help that Christianity is gone overboard in trying to convert other cultures. Could that be why they hate the Western culture so much?

Home or Business Security

In terms of physical security, New York City locksmiths work frequently involves making a determination of the level of risk to an individual or institution and then recommending and implementing appropriate combinations of equipment and policies to create “security layers” which exceed the reasonable gain to an intruder or attacker.  When more different security layers are implemented, more skills, knowledge and tools are required to defeat them. But because each layer comes at an expense to the customer, the application of appropriate levels without exceeding reasonable costs to the customer is often very important and requires a skilled and knowledgeable New York City locksmith to determine.
