A confidential analysis by staff of the UN nuclear

watchdog has concluded that Iran has acquired
'sufficient information to be able to design and produce'

an atom bomb, only 64 years after the United States

did the same thing. Impartial observers are wondering

why it took Iran more than a half-century to try to equal

the United States' ability to kill hundreds of thousands

of people with just a couple of bombs, like it did in

Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
