Why don't I care? I don't know. Iran might have nuclear weapons, andd bird flu might wipe out a quarter of our population....of course there isn't evidence to suport either of those claims despite those claims being made right and left.
Even if Iran had nukes, there is no reason to believe that the US would be in any more danger then than we are today. There are plenty of rogue nukes on the market already, some of which do have enriched fuel from the US (a la Sum of All Fears, the book not the crappy movie). Iran should have nuclear power, and they probably need nuclear weapons in order to ensure MAD in the Middle East. I do not like Iran having nukes, but I also don't like Israel having nukes...so I'd rather both of them have nukes than only one of them. Does Iran support terrorism? Yeah, not as much as Saudi Arabia and Syria, but yes. Of course, so does the US and Israel. Most countries support some sort of terrorism. Don't forget that Osama Bin Laden was CIA trained.
In a perfect world, we could disarm Israel until they solve the whole Jew/Arab thing...but we don't live in that world.
