How Close Is Iran, Really, To Nuclear Weapons
Lasrick writes "A Reuters blog post by Yousaf Butt explains the science, or lack thereof, behind recent claims that Iran is closer to building the bomb.

"western media is very biased," he said, linking to Al Jazeera...
yeah, that report also said Iran wasn't exactly being forthcoming about certain locations and installations.
Given their clear intentions, how close should we be willing to let them get? If a thug on the street says he wants to kill you and claims he has a knife, do you call his bluff, turn around and walk away, or do you prepare to defend yourself?
