Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

You need to do some research on nuclear energy before you slam it. A nuclear reactor can't explode like a nuclear bomb as you seem to suggest; it employs slow neutrons and doesn't have the critical mass/density to explode in a nuclear fashion. Accidents that we might encounter at a modern-era nuclear reactor are containable.
The beauty about nuclear power is that it can play an extremely valuable role in combatting and arresting global warming without having us abandoning modern civilization. Solar power and wind power, which are my favorites, just are not up to the heavy lifting required by a modern civilization.
And, don't give me that rubbish about how we haven't solved the nuclear waste issue. We have solved it a number of different ways from reusing it to deep, geological burial. The reason why these solutions have not been fully implemented is because of poltical fili-bustering(sp?) by groups who equate civilian nuclear weapons with civilian nuclear energy. They are not the same -- 440 civilian reactors world wide can testify to that, and at least 60 of them were built since Three Mile Island.
When the biosphere collapses because of the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel consumption, your children are going to say that you failed them. The really sad part is that you will have failed them because you couldn't be rational and logical.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
