I agree with the above except for the fatwa. Just rheatoric in my opinion but that's not too important. What is important is that they need a bomb to prevent an invasion, and like you said if they were to actually use the bomb they will be victims of the glass parking lot policy.
I suppose to answer Ustwo's question, it might actually be preferable that they get a bomb, then maybe we'd leave them alone instead of wage another half assed war. I guess I just can't see a country that "might" get a bomb as big as a threat as countries like NK and China who already have them. So either way, I really don't care as long as the US isn't involved in another war with them.
