Iranian nukes? Any day now. Yep, any day...

Ah the Iranian nuclear program. The wonder device of modern policy making. You know, they are doing quite well really, I'm fairly confident they will get there very very soon. Why only in the late 70s the US received intelligence that the Shah has set up a nuclear weapons program. Thats what? 30 years ago? Good god, those Iranians sure work fast.
