Unlike some other countries that have perfected nuclear power, Iran has been quite ahem crazy about it. Nobody wanted Pakistan to have nukes but lo and behold they achieved it. Why? Because the kept quiet about it.

Iran seems to be using the nuke angle to garner attention. If they had been less blatant they might have done it with out garnering too much attention, they want to provoke a response. That in of itself speaks volume.

Well, when Iran stops saying we want to wipe out Israel and actually lets people in to make sure they are not producing weapons grade nuclear material it would blunt the ability of the US to attack.

It cracks me up that people who get their dander up over religious influence on US politics seem to be so blase about Iran being a actual theocracy. Religious extremist do run the country and they are not known for making decisions without placing them into their religions worldview. Personally I could careless about Iran and what their rulers are up to, until it poses a risk to me and mine. So far though I am not confident in their stated reasons for playing with the nuclear Pandora's box. So far the track record for middle eastern countries and nuclear research is not encouraging.
