I side with US Secretary of State condoleezza rice on this one. Why would Saudi Arabia, the world's largest producer of oil, need nuclear energy now? The six-member Gulf Cooperation Council claims that this is for the protection of the Arab countries last week, in case Iran arms itself with one but my lay-man's view is that handing out cigars in a hay field only increases the incidence of fire and catastrophe. Not a good thing if you want to protect the supply of hay and keep everybody at peace.

And so I hope that the US will stand firm on this issue. After all, we don't want a nuclear situation arising anytime a hot head decides to level the world.
