I believe we will be directly at risk with a nuclear armed Iran. They will blackmail the world just like North Korea does. I know this is an area we disagree on, but these are the consequences of arming our worst enemies through our profligate use of oil, which fills their coffers so they can cause turmoil in the world.

First of all, Iran is not any where close to being a NK even if Bush likes to lump them under the same umbrella. Likewise, the president of Iran is no where near as corrupt and malevolent as the idiot in NK.

Second of all, NK's blackmail is some oil. If the US builds 10 less missiles this year, we have the bill covered. What's a few missiles when you have many thousands?
