TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran is installing 3,000 nuclear centrifuges, a senior Iranian member of parliament was quoted as saying on Saturday, defying U.N. calls for Tehran to suspend uranium enrichment.

"We are now installing 3,000 centrifuges," Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the head of parliament's foreign affairs and national security committee, was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

The centrifuges would allow Iran to begin industrial scale of nuclear fuel, which the West fears could lead to atom bombs.

Boroujerdi's remarks followed reports earlier this month from diplomats, who said inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency had concluded that Iran was ready to start installing the centrifuges.

America is the greatest superpower in the world. Why should we take advantage of the disadvantaged for trying to improve their own country and themselves? At the same time, we are occupying Iraq which had become so pathetic with need of help. Now, we are "helping" Iraq.

During the same occupation, we dare Iran, another country in need of electricity to remain at that level. While we deny Iran the financial resources which had been promised by the United States.

Should third world countries be offered technology to help themselves and stopped from maximizing the ability to use their own knowledge to make their country comfortable? Who gives us the right to become so superior that we shall order them to remain in the dark?

Maybe I am misguided, war seems to strongly exude itself from our wonderful leadership at any cost, regardless of the quality of anyone else's life.
