Dear Iranian Leaders

Dear Iranian Leaders,

Nuclear Wishes

You need nuclear power like you need a new hole in your head! In other words, "NOT!" No doubt, if you read this, you will want to call me a hypocritical American (since you are probably assuming I am in the USA). However, I am worried for the safety of you and your own people. Not because of any repercussions from governments, but because of seismic activity in your country, and the incredible dangers of nuclear materials.

Think This Through With Me

1. You have so much sunshine, that is where you need to put your smarts.
2. You have earthquakes, and I've read that after them, in places, oil bubbles up from the ground.
3. The market for individual, household, and community-based, solar energy gathering and storage is HUGE. But you are ignoring it because of some crazy notion that nuclear power is better.

Real Motives?

Of course some of my fellow citizens, and those of other countries, will tell me I am being naive, that the only reason for you all wanting to generate nuclear crud is because you want to create weapons. Frankly, I don't doubt that, I am sorry to say. If that's they case, then all I can say is "Bam!" Not "bam" as in, foreign powers hitting you, but Bam, the name of the town that was (if memory serves) the epicenter of your most recent devastating earthquake.

Do you care less for your fellow citizens than puffing up your chest and threatening others?

Does being hateful prevent others from hating? Does being belligerent prevent others from being belligerent?

Clearly you have enough oil, so much it comes to the surface during earthquakes. If you have such a fascination with nuclear material, then why don't you you to carry some around in your pockets, put nuggets of nuclear rocks and rods under your pillows at night, fasten nuclear metal medallions to the front of your turbans? I know why, because you know that nuclear materials are deadly!

Please don't force it on your citizens. (Let alone the rest of the world.)

Who would have thought one person many thousands of miles away would be writing a NIMBY (not in my backyard) letter?

Conclusion

Again, please re-read my 3 points above. If you really want to "sock it to" the rest of the world, you will focus your energies on harnessing the power of the sun, patenting the invention(s), then selling/exporting it to the rest of the world. Then, after you've paid off the initial investment and earned a fair profit, release the patent in to the public domain.

God rewards the givers, can destroy the destroyers, etc...

I STRONGLY urge you to stop your accumulation of nuclear stuff.

Respectfully, NewOldSalt

p.s. If you think I haven't said this to my own government, you are wrong. And now it's on the Internet for everyone in the world to read.
