Thems fightin words!

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is now slamming the international community on "blocking" the scientific advancement of the nation of Iran which is now reportedly been able to produce enriched uranium.

My own deliberations with Iran's advancement in nuclear technology is not so much that they have been able to produce enriched uranium, but more or less Ahmadinejad's poor choice of words, in a CNN report:

Adding fuel to that fire, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad repeated assertions that furthered concerns about Tehran's nuclear ambitions, again calling for Israel's destruction.

Nuclear ambition + Israel's destruction = Hell of a lot of reason for the international community to criticize and denounce the moves by Iran's current regime. How do you expect the word choice of "destruction of Israel" combined with "nuclear ambitions" to play out? It is not so much the international community is obsessed with keeping Iran in the stone age but more or less the "proper motives" of pursuing such a program... I think words like "nuclear ambition" combined with "peaceful, civilian, energy production" might warrant a much nicer international response... try it sometime.

Note: I am backlogged in posts... I've been battling a bad case of the flu for the past week. Rest assured, I am still completing a weeks worth of posts that will hopefully be done soon.
