Bloggers & Nuclear Case · Global Voices

Report on Iranian nuclear programme sent to United Nations Security Council by IAEA. Bloggers have a lot to share about this very important event.
Abtahi, former Vice President, (Persian) says peaceful nuclear energy is useful for country and it can empower Iran. But we should not destroy country for it. Some will consider my opinion a sign of fear. I prefer it to see my country gets destroyed. He says he prays that God protects Iran & Iranians from this dangerous situation.
Khanoumhana (Persian) says she neither likes Iranian state and its policies nor US which tries to impose us its rules. She adds we can not have any confidence in Iranian government on one side but on other side it is difficult to accept that a foreign country imposes its rule on Iran.
Alpar, a popular blog, writes nuclear problem is Iranian state’s problem and it must solve that. Iranian nation has never been asked to give her voice or opinion about nuclear energy. Iranian state has created this problem and Iranian nation should not be suffered because of that. Blogger prays God gives a little bit intelligence to Iranian rulers.
Behnoud writes about so called nuclear referendum. Blogger says :
“The Iranian media called the massive march of February 11th (the day of the victory of Iran 1979 revolution in 1979 that overthrew the monarchy and established an Islamic Republic) the “nuclear referendum” and a “national referendum”. The purpose behind these names appears to be aimed at strengthening the hand of the government in its talks with the international community over the country’s nuclear programs. But this approach raises the question of who is the target of this publicity, which in turn brings up other questions as well.”
If the target audience of this propaganda are foreign governments – specifically that of the United States and the Europeans – who are challenging Iran’s nuclear programs, then it must be said that both the governments and world public are well aware of such tactics practiced in the East.”
Hoder, Canada based blogger, tries to find a solution for problem. He says :
“Iran wants to do enrichment in its soil and the West doesn't accept it. So I have a suggestion: What if Iran declares one of its free trade zones, such as Gheshm, as an International zone completely governed by the UN with Iranian's co-operation? And then they do what aver nuclear research they want to do there, under the full inspection of the IAEA, while it's still inside Iran?”
Ashoob  (Persian), an Iran based blogger, would like to express himself by a Pink Floyd's song:
“Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build a wall?”
In Hojreh's blog (Persian), a young cleric, we see a link to a site which promotes Peaceful Nuclear Energy in Persian. In this site, visitors have been asked to send an email to IAEA to say they want peaceful nuclear energy.
