You don't know the expression, "coals to Newcastle" or you disagree with the application to Iran's nuclear energy ideas instead of gas energy availability?

It's Iran's right under the NPT to develop nuclear energy capability.

The proof that they want bombs is in the logic of selling gas via a $$bn pipeline and buying a nuclear reactor to supply energy.

That's not proof of anything other than Iran wants a nuclear reactor.

Not to mention their genocidal ideas about Israel and Jews, not to mention Islamic Jihad enthusiasm.

Iran has moderated significantly over the last 20 years. They would probably be more moderate if the Bush Administration would have encouraged it rather than push them in the opposite direction.

Sometimes we like Islamic Jihad enthusiasm, sometimes we don't. Reagan produced books for the Afghans preaching Jihad against the Soviet Union. Musharaff declared a Jihad against the Jihadists. Even Bush Jr declared a crusade, which is a Christian Jihad.

Speaking of Pakistan. Pakistan is full of Islamic fundamentalist and Pakistan has the bomb and won't sign the NPT. No one seems to care a whole lot about that. Certainly not enough to do anything about it. Israel has the bomb and refuses to sign the NPT.

It doesn't take the CIA. Just read a newspaper and I suppose a lot of Iranian web sites.

I have been for quite some time, which is why I know that Iran has been moderating. I suppose I could find some Iranian web sites that preach genocide for the Jews and I equally suspect that I could find some web sites in Pakistan that preach the same. I might even be able to find some neo-Nazi sites originating in the US that preach genocide. I stumbled across one a few years ago and it was creepy. I imagine they're still around.
