Desperately needed in a country with the world's third-largest oil reserves.
- pyre 16y agoThey should know better than anyone what the state of their reserves are. It would be a pity for them to squander the wealth that comes from selling their oil without having created any lasting infrastructure.
- chopsueyar 16y agoYeah, I wonder what that would be like.
- radicaldreamer 16y agoThey have hardly any refining capacity to actually use those reserves. There's no doubt though that they feel having nuclear weapons will be a deterrent after how close they came to having their government wiped out by Cheney et. al.
- YooLi 16y agoThey are trying to build _a_ bomb at this point. They are no where near the point they can deter the US from meddling. One bomb, however, will deter those with no bombs.
