You guys ever stop and think a lot of this simply has to do with maintaining the below market price of oil for US consumption?

If Iran is nuclear we will loose much of our ability to influnce the region as we have done for the past century.

I think the notion that Iran will give terrorists a nuke is primarily a scare tactic. Don't think for a second that MAD isn't still alive and kicking.

The real danger would be a localized Sunni/Shia war that could cripple global energy.
