If they build nuke devices that would show intent, but there is a line between intent and actual use. We have nukes, too, for example and have the intent to use, but we haven't used them since WW II. If they cross the line and use them, we will break their toys.

It will be too late once they USE them...

If they USE them, we won't know until there's a mushroom cloud over NYC. Are you willing to wait until that happens before we do anything?

Hint: An attempt to make a nuclear bomb + a radical Islamic regime with a long and deep history of supporting terrorism = more than adequate to justify pre-emption in self-defense. Really, the open question is not can we do it, nor is it should we do it, but rather will we do it?

<>I would but the BeltWay boys wouldn't allow W or Rummy to use that ordnance. We'd pussy foot around and (well it's not a bad idea to play with the new F/A22 Raptor and other neat toys) and back off using nukes.

The entire world (with the exception of 'moi') would be in hysterics if we lit off a nuke.

Perskonally, I'd rip Mecca the next time an American is beheaded. Bing-Bang-BOOOM! Reload... /rant

How many hundreds of thousands of lives might your wait n' see policy cost? Give me a break. Iran one of the most oil rich countries in the world needs a reactor to generate electricity? Remember this is the country who's parliament begins and closes their sessions with "death to America." Hello?

Thanks to our superior technology, Iran does not have any effective means to deploy nuclear weapons in a conventional mode. Their only effective method of deployment is by sneak attack through terrorists.

And that's exactly what their bomb is for, and that's exactly why the West shouldn't wait before they wipe out their islamic atomic bomb factory.
