Only as a very, very, very last resort - and then only based on proper inteligence!
I'd not worry about it if I were you. They've got a month to figure it out, then another two or three years, before they can crank up the reactor.
It gives a bit more time, for the middle east to calm down a bit. I doubt that the government or the international community will forget.
Some say, that Bin Laden has already bought briefcase based nuclear weapons from the Russians. If he has got them, I'll bet he's waiting for someone with enough of a grudge but no real intent, perhaps Iran, to be capable of manufacturing them.
They can do mass spectroscopy, isotope analysis, to work out which and where it came from. It's not clear to me if this will be good enough to determine the perpetrator of a Nuclear attack, on the UK for example.
If he does have them, then that's my bet on what he's waiting for.
I don't know if bombing Iran is right myself, but I still think it's probable.

so 33% positive NO, 11% yes, 55% unsure/conditional
Well I'm a yes, but not right now, and possibly not if the situation changes. If you dig it out I'd put money on that being the true UN position too.
As good a case as any for president Ahmadinejad to choose his words carefully in the next few weeks. One single statement could shift half of that 55% to the yes side.
How about this scenario.....
Iran build a briefcase bomb. During the Muslim revolt against the west, unnamed middle eastern terroists get hold of it, and it goes off accidently, but in the middle east.
Who do you think they're going to blame?
I don't know what's causing this frenzy, but if it gets out of control it's going to be bad for everyone. Someone, somewhere needs to take some "rational pills".
