Sitting on a Time-Bomb

Here's a shocker:

The National Council for Resistance, a grassroots Iranian organization, said Tehran was producing enriched uranium and testing biological and chemical warfare projects at a secret plant in northeast Iran which had not been disclosed to United Nations inspectors.

Military sources say the nuclear plant is hidden many feet below a development of luxury villas in the Iranian suburb of Nour in the Lavizan district of northeast Tehran. They say families of Iranian diplomats and top employees of Iran's Modern Defensive Readiness and Technology Center live in the villas, which contain entrances to a subterranean nuclear facility used to produce weapons-grade uranium and test chemical and biological warfare agents.

"If the U.S. or Israel wanted to hit these facilities, they'd have to target actual homes," one source told WorldNetDaily.

I'm stunned. A totalitarian government using its people as a shield for its nefarious activities. Isn't it interesting that this hotbed of terrorism even pursues its nuclear program with a terrorist mindset? Their rationale is obvious: If you attack us, you consciously will kill innocent civilians. And of course, we wouldn't want that, would we? Particularly in this time when people are scurrying about, lifting every slimy rock or sticking a hand in every dark crevice, hunting for a reason to hate the U.S. The irony of the situation is that many will hate us anyway--no matter what path we take. So let's worry less about what foreigners think of us, and more about the dire straits of Iran's nuclear intentions.
