You appear to be arguing that Iran's nuclear ambitions are based on static reasoning. Don't you think they have factored in the events of the last 4 years as well?

I contrast your reasoning here with many peoples opinion of Qadhafi in Lybia, that he changed following the current Iraq invasion. However, Qadhafi actually started changing significantly after the fallout from the PanAm bombing in the early 1990's. I primarily remember sometime in the mid 1990's (?) he started more initiatives with black Africa, and seemed to abandon terror as a means to an end. Try this for a brief overview:

However, I suspect that 9/11 and the Iraq war have continued to push him along the road of moderation. For Iran, it appears to be doing the opposite.
