How Very Comforting

Wow, I really feel better now. The New York Times has assured all of us that a nuclear armed Iran is years away. They have experts and everything. So we can be sure there's nothing to worry about for years.

Three to be exact.

"There's still a lot they have to do," he said, to perfect the operation of the cascade of centrifuges. A report that he and his colleagues made public late last month suggested that Iran would need 6 to 12 months to master that process, and Mr. Albright said in an interview that he stood by that rough estimate as accurate.

His March report said Iran had parts for perhaps 1,000 or 2,000 centrifuges beyond the ones already in operation, and that Iran is not likely to produce enough highly enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon until 2009 at the earliest.

So, let's not worry about that right now, shall we?
