WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If elected U.S. president, Sen. John Kerry would offer Iran a deal allowing it to keep its nuclear power plants if it gave up the right to retain bomb-making nuclear fuel, Kerry's vice presidential running mate said in an interview published on Monday.
Sen. John Edwards told The Washington Post that if Iran did not accept this "great bargain," this would confirm the Islamic state was building nuclear weapons under cover of a nuclear power initiative.

If Iran rejected this proposal, Kerry would ensure European allies were prepared to join the United States in imposing strict sanctions against Iran, Edwards said.

1. The Euros.

Have floated this idea. Nothing prevents iran from agreeing and doing what NK did, take our money and build a bomb anyway.

It sounds bad "Kerry to give nuclear capability to Iran", may backfire.

2. You're so negative.

3. It'll sound bad to the rabid Bush supporters

To everyone else it sounds reasonable.

Iran is creating a nuclear capability, Kerry is not giving it to them.

Bush's policy has sped up Iran's attempts to finish their nuclear plants. He has done nothing to entice Iran to negotiate.
