#2 We've been hearing such [alarmist] stuff for how many years now?

Sorry, I just can't get too worked up over a country that wants "the bomb" when so many other countries already have it.

#3 Except that Iran is a theocracy and they actually believe that a nuclear exchange would force the 12'th Iman from his hidey hole and lead them to a glorious world victory.
To them the lost of 90% of their people in a nuclear war is acceptable. After all they would all be Martyrs and guaranteed heaven and 72 virgins.

#4 As grist for us gamblers, it's topping:
"Let's guess when that corn'll start popping!"
Then it goes pretty fast
From first kernel to last,
But we're less apt to bet on the stopping.

Sigh. pop Corny, pop pop my specialty. pop

#7 Since Iran was able to get some small unmaintained and therefore non-working Soviet battlefield nukes in the Soviet's fall... They know that design could work so look for them buying Beryllium and Tritium.
