The US has agreed to sell nuclear weapons fuel and technology to The United Arab Emirates, reports WorldNetDaily.  Isn’t that nice of us?  I am sure Iran and Iraq will feel so much better now knowing that their neighbors are going to be all nuked up.  What I would like to know is why our government feels the right to tell one country that they CAN’T develop nuclear weapons, and then turn around and sell material and technology to someone else.  Considering the results of the US in setting up governments, selling weapons to foreign countries, and supporting warlords, this is bound to bite us in the backcrack someday.

Given the hulabaloo over the UAE owning and running US ports a couple of years ago I am surprised that Bush would take this step.  Especially considering his lame duck status and (hopefully) some desire to see the White House remain Republican.  But when you consider the liberal bent of the Republican Party anymore, he probably figures it doesn’t really matter anyway.  Whoever ends up in the White House (unless of course it is Ron Paul) will likely follow the same course towards global government and regulation of free trade, religious freedom, and civil liberty as any other candidate would.

Grrr, argh.  They should just let me run the country.  At least I can balance a budget.  And I don’t make any bones about being a domestic dictator.  :)
