1. Portends US vs Russia ME Nuclear Competition
PunditRich ,   Wisconsin, USA   (05.23.09)
Israel's best loong term strategy is to align with Arabs to keep unmanageable Russia and several others out. Extremists who demand "Greater [Larger] Israel" need to be rejected, and an end to military occupation of the growing millions of Palestinians ended now while still an viable option. OR, ...

How do you guys deal with the cold peace with Egypt & Jordan? I'm asking this as a former Israel resident (with all the isolation, misinformation and protection the UN allows) You're surrounded by dictatorships, one at least shamefully ( though sorta understandably) underwritten by the US, Change the paradigm; properly annex the west bank and Golan (it's probably pretty much a given anyway in diplomatic circles) and start from there. These are our borders, those are yours; now lets have a chat.

7. US Gave Up Its Chance for Israel
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (05.23.09)
The US should have been the natural one to build these plants considering the hundreds of millions of dollars US taxpayers give to Jordan every year. But without a doubt the US Israel Lobby would have been able to "persuade" Congress to stop any deal for the US to bring nuclear capability into the region. US manufacturers will now be unhappy with Israel for blocking them, and Jordan will turn just a little bit more away from the US and Israel.

10. #8 Solar is hardly the future - useful, but not enough.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (05.23.09)
Nuclear is the future if you want cheap, clean power.
11. Its Jordan, we don't need to worry
Steve   (05.24.09)
I know some people will be worried about the possibility of Jordan trying to make nuclear weapons. I'm not. Jordan won't do anything like that... they know Israel can squash them if there ever is another war. Iran, on the other hand, is a huge problem, and we need to stop their nuclear weapons program before it is too late.
12. #10 clean? go tell that to the people of Chernobyl

14. Although I don't like to deal with Russian
Sami ,   Canada   (05.24.09)
All Arab should have nuclear weapon, it is the weapon of peace. Nuclear weapon was keeping the peace in the world since WWII. It is a gift from God.
15. Another potential Chernobyl
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (05.24.09)
Now we have another potential Chernobyl in our misdt. Can Russian technology be trusted?
16. The Bushehr reactor is a good promo.
Damir ,   Russia   (05.24.09)
Business shall roll on.
17. Israel will not last forever anyway
SAM ,   LONG BEACH, CA   (02.27.13)
Do you really think Jordan can't take advantage of nuclear technology and solve their energy crisis because Israel don't feel safe?? well too bad, this is about Jordan not Israel, the people of Jordan don't give a damn about what Israel thinks or don't think, Israel do not provide jack to Jordan so they will save face if they just shut the up
