It is too late, we have screwed up royally. We kept them in isolation, and that was a mistake. They are smart and proud people. We should have had kept the door of the dialogue open. They saw what happend to Saddam, and what is taking place in Iraq. This scared them, so the got the nuclear weapon. I don't know for sure, but I believe there is a good chance they have it. We can bomb their facilities but I doubt if we can remove the threat. The country is too vast. To invade them will take a million people, and the US and the EC public will not stand for it. If Iraq question would have been settled a year ago,and the weapons of mass destruciton found in Iraq, then maybe US and UN would have been able to take action, but we failed on both occasions. With mounting US casualty in Iraq, Bush adminsteration can not take any action, other than slap their wrist at the UN. The country has too strong a ties with China, Japan, and Euroepan Countries, and the world public opinion will not accept.
