In fact, I recently read something (and I'm trying to figure out where)
that asked a really good question--why has it taken the Iranians so
_long_ to build a bomb? They've been at it for decades. I seem to
remember that the speculation was that they've simply done a very
poor job of it.

I suspect that they've tried to do it too cheaply, and have chopped and
changed strategies and management. It isn't an /easy/ job; they seem to
have acquired plenty of bomb design information, but they may well have
failed to grasp the scale of work and the persistence necessary to get a
materials production system running.
