Hi
I think there is not a real sense of Iran.
Most of the pople in al of the world think Iranian people are terrorist, but in fact Iran is one of the main victims of terrorism.
It is enough to remember three past decades to know how many of Iranian people have killed in terrors.
and more abvious and important, Plz look to 8 years war that Iraq by apport of world great powers like US, imposed on iran.
Now you think that Iran and Iraq (Saddam) are accomplice.
It is laughable and also anxiously!

Thank you Zebulon for that comment. My question is the same, why are we terrorizing our own people. I am American, but we are the biggest terrorist out there, and we do it to our own people. Why are the companies that sold the products not the ones to be persecuted? Shouldn't they be held accountable for their sales of 'dangerous' weapons of mass destruction to people who, anyone can lie on the internet, its not real, duh? Could they not have done more research on the buyer if it so dangerous? Shouldn't American powers go after the top instead of the bottom of the barrel? Well if they did that then drug users wouldn't be in jail, the drug makers and top dealers would, but then that would mean locking up themselves, not only for dealing but for terrorism.

Yes I'm sure it was very hard for those Iranian billionaires to buy a few imported pressure gauges. I found one online for $520.00 within three seconds of watching this video. They look like they probably only cost three dollars to make. They probably have boxes of them. What the Iranians really want is a uranium mine if they don't already have several. here's the link for a "pressure transducer" by the way ..http://www.omega.com/ppt/pptsc.asp?ref=PX762.. which 60 minutes really didn't seem to research too well, in fact they seemed completely mystified by the words, "pressure transducer". What a bunch of crap, I hardly think a pressure gauge qualifies as a major concern. These people are just trying to scare you, pressure gauges are nothing. The well heeled zealots in Iran need to enrich lots and lots of uranium which takes scientific know how and loads of money and connections in high places to pull off. Which maybe some or most of those things they do possess in Iran, but they don't appear to have enough. Because if they did, wouldn't half of the United States glow in the dark? Or are these just more scare tactics? Probably. Its time to wake up and take action America, the snakes are everywhere, even in our own backyard.
