Iran and nuclear needs

I could not have put my feelings more aptly than
this report of statements by Ahmadinejad. Iran does not violate the NPT (even though NPT has no sembelance of fairness), USA does violate it. Every country has the right to go for alternate energy sources with rapidly depleting fuel supplies. The nuclear club just wants to keep it to themselves for financial benefits, so that they can sell the technology under licence to all other countries whom they force not to develop it themselves.

Some excerpts:

- "Disarmament and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons were the most important contents of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). A country, which possesses the biggest nuclear arsenal, embarks on proliferation of nuclear weapons in defiance of the safeguards (of NPT) and threatens to use them against others, is not competent to comment on peaceful use of nuclear know-how by other states,"

- "As a developing state, Iran should speedily increase its investment in different energy-related sectors. The United States, despite having giant fossil fuel reserves, has made considerable amount of investment in the nuclear energy field,"
