If different approaches do not work, how long do you give them? Until they explode a bomb?

If there are really, truly only 2 possibilities, flatten them or wait until they actually have nuclear weapons, then my vote is to flatten them. I prefer that to nuclear blackmail, and the prospects that Iraq would either use the bomb on the U.S. or that terrorists would get it who would do so. Unfortunately, as I mentioned to Cogito not long ago, I fear that the U.S. does not have the moral will nor political courage to do so.

I understand that this issue has no appealing solutions. I also realize that my view is very unpopular with many. Feel free to disagree and have the last word if you like. For now at least, I won't be posting more on this particular topic.
