NoNuclearIran (119)

NoNuclearIran (119): ""intellicide" becomes an available option; it seems to require a lot of computing power by way of instrumentation and control, so there's "Stuxnet" in the works; and, finally, it requires well defended political power, which thugs may possess, to get the money and write the checks, and that may be addressed-- all of these without losing an Nth of yellowcake or processed nuclear material.
