[edit] Unfairness

How come the US enters another soveiring country, demands full access to technological secrets (who are allegedly cheaper, stronger and overall better) than the tech it uses, in the pretense claim that its inspections WMD (in a country like Brazil!), while NOT accepting inspections themselves?!?LtDoc 04:08, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

What would they inspect? The nature of inspections are to ensure that a state is using nuclear research for peaceful purposes only. What would inspections find? That the US had a nuclear weapons program? Ok, but the US is allowed a NW arsenal under the NPT. Brazil isn't, which is why Brazil, and every other member of the NPT who is a non-nuclear weapons state has inspections. Moreover, it is not the US that demands full acesss to technological secrets, or inspections, it is the IAEA, an body of the UN, that conducts inspections (which all non-nuclear weapons signatories agree to).

[edit] US Perception

I think it is important to note that both Condolessa and Colin Powell has estated that they have no reason to believe that Brazil would ever use nuclear technologies to develop weapns. Also, Brazilian's costitution forbids it.

All the criticism from USA to Brazi's nuclear program came from crappy journalists -- not government. --Pinnecco 13:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stupidity

How can anyone think that it is actualy possible for Brazil to make a NUCLEAR BOMB?? Brazil doesn't have enough money even to construct better schools! Oh God, please! How can they be SO stupid???

How can anyone think that it is actually possible for Pakistan to make a NUCLEAR BOMB?? ;)

Nukes are easy if your a bastard who doesn't care about his own people, (North Korea) but Pakistan is rather well off, plus they have india on their doorstep who don't havre much cause to love them and have had nukes (or the capability) since the seventies. Besides as the article notes the Brazilian WMD program was under a Junta, you really think they were over bothered if a school didn't get built instead of a bomb?Tobias1 15:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that you should read more about the brazilian's industries in São José dos Campos, Embraer for exemple, is the third largest yearly delivery of commercial aircraft (behind Boeing and Airbus) and the fourth largest workforce (behind Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier). Brazil has money to built school, the problem is that the politician don't want to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Junior 2107 (talk • contribs) 06:19, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
