The choice isn't sell the hydrocarbons for cash or burn it. You imply that it would be flared for no value. No. What I'm saying is that if they burn it, it's not a source of income. Oil is the GDP of Iran, without it they have no GDP. I haven't seen any products in retail stores marked with the label "Made in Iran." Iran has said that it intends to be a supplier of nuclear fuel to other countries and under the NPT they are allowed to do that. Iran wants nuclear bombs. Based on the same type of intelligence sources that told us about the biological vans and exactly where the WMD was in Iraq. As insane as MAD is, it works. Libya gave up on nukes because it was too hard and they knew they couldn't use them if they wanted to. If Iran were to use nukes, their entire country would be radioactive toast in retaliation. jttmab
