I'm sure Israel has had 50,000 centrifuges RUNNING for twenty years, probably with our help. Why should we expect that Iran wouldn't want the same capability?

Sure. I believe what you say. However, Ahmadenijad condemns himself with his own mouth. They are now on track to having 50,000 centrifuges. What do you think he is doing with those, making tea? I don't think he has them......I think he's bluffing. Remember Saddam and his WMDs...NOT? This guy is as bad as Bush. Ahmadinejad is building a bomb and that will have a domino affect in the region. Do you really want a Middle East bristling with nuclear weapons in a region where most of the inhabitants have an extreme hatred of the U.S.? I disagree with you. I think Ahmadinejad is talking big to piss off Bush. He's taunting him. He's figuring that if the US moves against Iran, it won't win. He's playing a dangerous game. Its that game I fear not his mystical nukes. Iran's nuclear claims raise fear, skepticism U.S. is concerned. But experts doubt Tehran can now enrich uranium on an industrial scale. latimes.com That is a very scary and sobering thought. I'll tell you this much. If Iran successfully tests a nuclear weapon two things will happen in rapid succession: 1) World stock markets will tank to adjust for increased risk in the world, because everyone knows at that point it is just a matter of time before those nukes make their way into terrorist hands and get detonated in either the U.S. or Europe. I'll will be mostly in bonds within days of Iran declaring themselves a nuclear power. I don't think Iran would let terrorists get nukes. Iranians are not that stupid.
