Why No Dancing in the Streets?
The status of the Iranian alleged program to develop "a nuclear bomb" has not changed since their formal National Intelligence Estimate of 2007. That NIE stated - with "high confidence" - that Iran "halted", in the fall of 2003, whatever program it was alleged to have had, and stated - with "moderate confidence" - that Iran had made no attempt to resurrect it. So, why isn't there mucho dancing in the streets; here and around the world?
