I'm not aware of Iran invading any of its neighbor countries in its entire history. In fact, I'm not even aware of Iran ever threatening one of its neighbor countries. If Iran had a functional nuclear weapon, what makes you think they would use it on a neighbor country willy nilly? Iran had threatened Iraq & tried to invade it. History has taught us that radical religious movement tends to conquer neighboring countries. Nowadays, they want to cripple the rest of the world by conquering oilfields. Be aware of its consequencies. What terrorism does Iran conduct that doesn't involve opposition to the state of Israel? The question really is which culture do you prefer: Israel or Iran? Jewish or Islam ?

<<I'm not aware of Iran invading any of its neighbor countries in its entire history.>> There was the Persian empire a few hundred years BC which was pretty extensive, ruled by Cyrus the Great. I believe Alexander the Great overran the Persians......funny how all the ancient empire builders' names were appended with "the Great". Somehow I don't think we'll ever see any reference in future years to "GW the Great"..... I agree with your point however concerning the Iranians and the Israelis. MON.
