I don't doubt they are shopping around for centrifuge material... And we should take every step to prevent further proliferation.

But unlike Iraq, Pakistan has demonstrated Nuclear capability already (if limited). So the Djinni is already out of the bottle there and countered by India's nukes (which developed them first). And it's pretty clear that Pakistan went Nuke in order to counter India.

And the only claim that Iraq can make is that Iran is developing Nukes. But then again, Iran is claiming they are doing it because Iraq is trying to obtain them.

Iraq is only the beginning, Imo... But we have to start somewhere and it's as good a place as any to implement the need political and cultural modernization that seem to captivate current Iranian youth, yet are denied to many Arab young people.
