Minor detail for the 'your ignoring the risk' fraction:
Since the vacuum pumps that contained the highly enriched uranium are believed to be imported from pakistan - the explanation is probably that they where used in the pakistani research program for their nukes.
No - i don't think that makes Apeboy a nice man.
Iran needs to be controled not bombed (yet) - they still stand a good chance to join civilization prior to paradise. I just know many people there don't want anything but ending the mullahs evernagging twisted morality. In many heads the regime of the mullahs is already gone.
Making ape boy a matyre without need would be a tragic and expensive mistake and it would jeopadize a lot (people, money etc).
