Operation Chamberlain

This story has me asking whether the nations of Europe actually want a nuclear war.

Some ivory tower elitist diplomat types believe that giving Iran a nuclear reactor might dissuade Ahmadinejad from building his own. What are they thinking? Has it escaped their notice that their plan will require giving a maniac who has vowed to wipe a major nation off the earth's face enriched uranium?

Let's try this from another angle. Iran develops nuclear program. World says "Stop." Iran says, "No." and continues program. World says, "Stop, or else." Iran says, "Screw you. Or else what? By the way, we now have enriched uranium." World says, "Here's a free reactor, have fun."

Is it possible that this scheme would be rewarding the wrong behavior?
