Spanish term or phrase: ¿hasta cuándo?

El título de un artículo:

"Tránsito nuclear por el Canal, ¿hasta cuándo?"

Lo único que se me ocurre para la frase idiomática "¿hasta cuándo?" es "how long must we continue to put up with... etc.?", que es demasiado larga.

Les agradezco de antemano.

Asker: Thanks, Keit, but I don't think a literal translation fits my particular context, since the Spanish phrase has a heavy semantic load.

Asker: Ah, but I'm getting paid for target words, so every extra word helps, specially since an English translation usually has less words than the source document, hehe >:-P
