I'd much rather have the Israeli government overthrown by the Israelis who are fed of with the ongoing civil war with the Palestinians.
Do I want Iran to have nuclear weapons? I don't want anyone to have nuclear weapons. No one ever born is responsible enough to have them. No one. Not me, not you, not Bush, not Clinton, not Truman; not anyone. Not Iran, not Syria, not the UK, not the US. But, just like guns, it's too fucking late to prevent idiots from having a tool of immeasurable destruction. So what do we do? MAD. Mutually assured destruction. So how does one protect themselves from a rogue state that has nuclear weapons (Israel)? Well there are a few options.
1) Give up.
2) Attack.
3) Make your own nukes
4) Make friends with nukes
Iran is shooting for #4, of course, but if they were to shoot for #3? What would that mean? Are they more likely to sell to terrorist groups than Eastern block defectors? Nah. Are they more likely to use it than Israel? Of course not.
I'd not be happy if Iran had nuclear weapons, but I'd not be afraid, either.
