You can't make this stuff up

First, we have Sunnis in Iraq calling Zarqawi an American agent. (As if. Cindy Sheehan already has the job.)

Then, on Sunday Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said the United States could bid on the construction of another nuclear power plant in Iran.

No word on if they'd also let us build the nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles they'd use to attack us or Israel or Europe.

According to this article:

Iran opened the door Sunday for U.S. help in building a nuclear power plant, a move apparently designed to ease American suspicions that Tehran is using its nuclear program as a cover to build atomic weapons.

The offer, which did not seem likely to win acceptance in Washington, was issued as Israel said it had not ruled out a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities.

"America can take part in international bidding for the construction of Iran's nuclear power plant if they observe the basic standards and quality," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said in a news conference.

Actually, we probably should help build the reactor, much like we let the Soviets build our new embassy in Moscow. Then, we were shocked, shocked!, to find the whole building was riddled with bugs and listening devics.

So, if we help build Iran a reactor, we could, uh, build some flaws into the design.

"Hey, who used styrofoam for this support column? It was supposed to be made of concrete! No wonder the structure collapsed."
