Why should a nuclear Iran bother US?

You surely are being facetious. I hope. here's a short list of the reasons.

1.- A nuclear armed Iran, especially if it acquires intercontinental missiles, will threaten the security of the US, Europe,and Israel.

2.- It will make future resolution of ME peace issues even more difficult to successfully achieve.

3.- The IslamoWacos will be energized; terror may increase as a result.

4.- The Gulf area, and therefore oil supplies, may be destabilized.

5.- Other countries will try to follow suit.

6.- The Mad Mullahs work hand-in-hand with Hizbollah. If the MMs use nukes and Hizbollah terror in concert, their power is immensely increased.

7.- Are the MMs to be trusted to use nukes solely for deterrence? Maybe not. They are not called the Mad Mullahs because they are poster boys for tolerance and reason.

I assume your question was rhetorical, not really a serious one. The dangers are immense and easily recognized.
