There is the all but confirmed rumor that Israel has been a nuclear power for the last 30 years and hasn't used them yet.

The rhetoric that issues from Iran both religious and political calls for the annihilation of both Israel and the west (USA).
Your Mom, Dad and kids.

The calculus is that the Arabs and Persians already hate the Israelites as much as possible so
"Freedom is nothing left to lose"

The Iranians want nukes so we won't invade etc. period. Unfortunately once they have this there is no telling what they will do including giving one to Al Qaeda. Good bye so USA port city. It can blow while the ship is still in NY harbor and still kill 1 million and ruin our economy.

One additional scary thing is usually a democracy focuses power in the more stable citizenry but now the Muslims seem to want to elect religious wackos so maybe the bring democracy to the middle east ....not so smart
