Russian scientist: Iran should be stopped

Say what?

MOSCOW: Russia’s leading nuclear scientist said on Monday that it was just a question of time before Iran developed a nuclear weapon and it should be stopped.

The Islamic republic, facing a showdown with the United States over its nuclear ambitions, clearly has the know-how to make atomic weapons, said Yevgeny Velikhov, a leading physicist and close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Considering that nobody helped Iran along toward nuclear technology more than Russia (unless we count the USSR separately), that's a terrific observation to make.

I wonder if Putin will have this scientist poisoned for shooting off his mouth?
