Iran

I normally avoid personal opinion and try to offer information based on the best available data and I start with these facts. The United States in 3 years developed the first A bomb back in the early 1940's. The most difficult part of the project was the uranium enrichment. Over the past 40 years Iran has been working on this enrichment process and admit they do not have enough for a bomb. Periodically reports are issued by various agencies indicating that Iran is only X days from having enough enriched uranium. Pakistan got the bomb in 1998 and North Korea in 2006. It is my opinion that Iran doesn't want a bomb but uses the threat to gain concessions. I suggest that any reasonable person can see that if they wanted a bomb they could have enriched enough uranium by now or they could have purchase enriched uranium from North Korea. Recall that Saddam Hussein used the same ploy to keep the rest of the world in a tizzy while he sold oil on the side to build up his military.
