Outsourcing Iran's Nuclear Power

I have wondered what Iran would do if we made them this offer: If you give up your nuclear processing plants, we will build all the nuclear power plants you want, and manage them for you.  Iran just pays us for the electricity.  They get the energy they say they want, but will have no access whatsoever to any nuclear material.

If they really want nuclear power, they should jump at the offer.

Texas Independence

I keep wondering if we should let Texans get their wish as long as they understand what it means:
  1. They forfeit all claims to their Social Security.
  2. Their seniors lose their Medicare and their veterans lose their health insurance as well.
  3. We would close all our military bases in Texas.
  4. The border patrol would drop back to the new border between the remaining United States of America and the Republic of Texas.
  5. Texas oil would become an import and put in the same class as oil from the Middle East.
  6. All commerce and travel between the US and Texas would have to go through customs.
  7. They get all the teabaggers.
