World Lets Iran Go Nuclear

According to NBC the Russians have started loading nuclear fuel rods into Iran's reactor.  It's probably now too late to stop Iran from going fully nuclear:

Iranian and Russian nuclear technicians made final preparations to start up Iran's first reactor on Saturday after years of delays, an operation that will mark a milestone in what Tehran considers its right to produce nuclear energy.

Nationwide celebrations are planned for the fuel loading at the Bushehr facility in southern Iran, while Russia pledges to safeguard the plant and prevent spent nuclear fuel from being shifted to a possible weapons program.

"The startup operations will be a big success for Iran," conservative lawmaker Javad Karimi said in Tehran. "It also shows Iran's resolve and capability in pursuing its nuclear activities."

It's hard to imagine Israel allowing this to happen unless they were prevented from acting by someone else, and that someone else would have to be the USA, the only power in the region capable of preventing an attack on Iran. I wonder what we'll find out about all this in the coming years.
