i doubt iran sees as its biz to nuke any nation question: why would it? what is the upside? why would anyone? what would be the point? answer: anyone doing a first-use will be obliterated, either immediately or by and by, for sure, by somebody or group of somebodies, at some opportune point. no nation will risk a nuclear exchange over anything other than imminent 'last-chance' obliteration. the equation is a non-starter, and without a win.

The problem with Iran is if they build a weapon and then somehow "lose" it. I don't think they'd ever use it in a pre-emptive strike, just as Israel wouldn't either.

<The Iranian leadership are a bunch of toxically virulent anti-semites, the source of the problem.> The source of the problem is US support of Israel and occupation of Moslem land. Energy self sufficiency and a neutral stance on Israel would go a long way towards peace. Even then, there probably will never be peace in the middle east until Israel is eliminated. The Jewish State was a mistake to begin with and completely unnecessary. Now we have a nuclear armed Israel surrounded by 1 billion hostile Moslems. Nukes will be dropped. It's a matter of when and not if.
