VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- A package of incentives presented Tuesday to Iran includes a provision for the United States to supply Tehran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium - a major concession by Washington, diplomats said.

The offer was part of a series of potential rewards offered to Tehran by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, according to the diplomats, who were familiar with the proposals and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing confidential details of the offer.

The package was agreed on last week by the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia - the five veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, in a bid to resolve the nuclear standoff with Iran.

The incentives include European offers of help in building nuclear reactors for a peaceful energy program, the diplomats said.

Gads--again--I hope that this is not true. A "peaceful energy program"??? Like Amahdenijad is actually capable of it? Iran is sitting on a shitload of oil, and they need nuclear power??? And they're going to use it for peaceful purposes??

Does anyone remember North Korea? And at least they had an excuse--they're not sitting on any oil!!

Again, this better be some kind of late April Fool's joke, because if there's any truth to it, we have just opened up yet another geopolitically expedient can of worms that we will inevitably have to deal with.
