I'm fine with that. What I'm not fine with is Iran having nukes of any kind. The launching capacity of any Rocket they currently have will not be enough to hit us. But they could provide a terrorist group with a weapon to use against us and I think they'd be willing to do it. If I'm wrong we'd at least deal with the current circumstances which don't work for me. If I'm Right we could avert a potential event here and deal with the current set of circumstances. If they start to create highly enriched uranium at an "industrial" pace I don't think we have a choice. Nobody is very happy about a nuclear Iran. The Iranian Government (since the 70's) has never proven itself to be a bastion of trust and goodwill. This isn't good

Here's another thing that bothers me. I'm not going to even act like I know D!CK about nuclear technology because I don't. But I read this - <<Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, seemed to confirm separately to reporters that scientists had begun enriching uranium through a cascade of 3,000 centrifuges.>> And then saw on a cable show that it takes a cascade of 50,000 centrifuges to create a very real nuke. I have no idea how long it will take to move from 3,000 to 50,000 but since the technology is floating around you can bet it will be faster than it should be.
