We have had to sit through the nuclear age…..we made, we dropped it and then the race was on….the USSR was next….and on came China to join the club…….then India/Pakistan……next would be North Korea….and then along came Iran, who does not have a bomb…yet….but the possibility is there and of course the world went into a deep depression because of Iran and its seeking to join the nuke club.  Much has been said, done and accused because of Iran’s desire…..

All the hoopla about Iran made this story even more bizarre, at least to me……

President Barack Obama has approved an agreement for civilian nuclear cooperation between the US and Vietnam in a sign of deepening ties between the former foes. The US and Vietnamese governments reached agreement in October. Congress now has 90 days to review it. If lawmakers do nothing, the deal will take effect. The “123 agreement,” approved by Obama on Monday, allows US firms into Vietnam’s civilian nuclear power market. Russian and Japanese companies are already planning to build reactors there. Under the US agreement, Vietnam is committing to rely on the international market for its nuclear fuel supply rather than enrich uranium or reprocess plutonium itself. Some lawmakers have expressed concern over the terms of the agreement and over Vietnam’s human rights record.

It all sounds reasonable….but is there anything reasonable in today’s world affairs?

Think about it though…….we will help Vietnam,  a communist country,  get nuke power…..am I the only one that sees a potential problem?  Think spent fuel and what it could be used for in the future if the desire is there……
