In the event of an “accident” at Bushehr, Iran’s more moderate Arab-Muslim neighbours, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, would be at the mercy of which way the wind blows. This would also be the case for Israel, Iraq and, further west, Europe.
Consider the implications of 80 tonnes of nuclear fuel controlled by a government that, as recently as May 2006, claimed: “We have 800 suicide bombers ready and waiting.”
The Bushehr reactor ignited would make Chernobyl look like a Boy Scout campfire. Much would depend on the wind direction, but they have all the time in the world to wait for the perfect weather conditions for their “accident”. In fact, this is the perfect weapon of mass destruction. A controlled reactor accident could poison Earth’s atmosphere forever. Forget about global warming, think about “death to the Infidel at all cost”.
