Well, don't let your personal feelings about Bush hinder your ability to look objectively at Iran's nuclear program.
If you read the actual IAEA reports concerning Iran's activities it is rather easy for one to conclude that Iran has nuclear weapons ambitions.

First of all, would you mind posting
any evidence at all that supports the hypothesis that the US has ever supplied Israel with nuclear weapons? Thanks, in advance.
Secondly, why single out the US regarding nuclear weapons? The UK, France, Russia, and China also have nuclear weapons...and all of these nations also have concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program to varying degrees.
Lastly,
YES, the US
CAN tell Iran to not develop nuclear weapons even though the US has nuclear weapons herself since Iran, like the US, is a signatory nation of the NPT. Of course, there is somewhat vague language in that same treaty that affirms the desire that all nuclear-armed states disarm. And, perhaps Iran does have a case, so to speak, if it argues that the nuclear-armed nations must disarm. But this argument doesn't give Iran any legal right to disregard her own obligations stated within the NPT.

As to extremist groups, how bout protecting our own borders against the vicious drug gangs coming in from Mexico and let the Middle east handle its own groups? |
Well, regarding Iraq, isn't it always much easier to look back in history in order to conclude whether or not a mistake has been made?
And, if or when Iran has nuclear weapons, the battlefield, so to speak, could very likely be within the US...being that the US is "The Great Satan."
