And I guarantee you that he [Kerry] will let the Iranians get Nukes.

I'm not so sure anyone will prevent the Iranians from getting such weapons. From a practical standpoint, Iranian acquisition of nukes is probably impossible to prevent.

They have learned from Saddam's experience and will protect their facilities.

They are unlikely to be so dysfunctional as to indiscriminately fire them on the Israelis since Israeli retaliation would mean the end of Iran. Any use by Iranian terrorists on America would mean the same result.

And also note that there are deep religious divides between the Iranians and the mostly Wahabbi IslamoWacos, a division which the Bush administration I think is trying to exploit to some extent in Iraq.

I think like most countries, Iran will use its nukes as a deterrent. While no one wants them to have them, I really don't see how, absent an unthinkable full scale invasion of Iran and/or the use of nuclear bunker busters, the prospect of nuclear weapons in Iranian hands can be avoided.
