Though I'm no fan of nuclear proliferation, one thing to be considered, despite Iran's rhetoric, I think they saw what happened to Iraq. If Saddam had nukes, guarenteed the U.S. wouldn't have trumped up false reasons to go to war and invade Iraq. And to expand further on the topic, I hate to say it, but I suspect a big reason the U.S. and U.S.S.R. didn't go to war was the deterrent provided by each sides nukes.
