Iran wants a nuclear bomb for one reason only; Hatred of Jews, and they use a really twisted up (non existent) version of history (taught only in Middle Eastern Islam nations) to justify thier blood lust hatred of the Jews.
As for Venezuela, they hate the United States guts and anyone who supports the United States.
Just as the Arabs believe the Jews are seeking world domination - many countries (including Venezuela) believe the same of the United States.
Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, would rather jack up prices to the US and may yet do so in the very near future. The Arab states and Venezuela knows the sure way to cripple America without firing one missile is to jack the prices of oil way up OR deprive U.S. of oil.
And the way to get other nations to go along with their ideas and motives - the power of oil restriction works as a strong-arming tactic.

Are you serious? Iran is not the only ones with greed you know... Look at America. We are the country who uses more oil that any other country in the entire world. And what for? Our SUV's and Hummers, our air conditioned mansions, our air polluting factories which pump out more and more "stuff" to consume our daily lives. You want to talk about insatiable greed? We are a nation where nothing is enough. We always want MORE. I agree with you on Venezuela, but what you aren't realizing is that our government is very "cozy" with certain people in Iran and all over the Middle East- no matter what you have heard our politicians say. Did you know that when our airspace was shut down on 9/11 the only airplane allowed to fly had the Bin Laden family on board- the plane had been cleared by OUR government. Did you also know that our President and his daddy are pretty tight with the big wigs in Saudi Arabia? That's right, there people we are supposedly at war with clink drinks for toasts in their palaces with our United States Presidents. We couldn't give our $ to the Venezuela people because it wouldn't be profitable to ther people who are making a pretty penny out of this America-Middle East oil "crisis". Were you even paying attention when just recently the gas companies IN AMERICA released their profit margins about 1 month ago? BP had made over a BILLION dollars in profits alone. Believe me, it's not just the Iranians who are greedy. Not only that, keep in mind that over generalizing "Iran" is including people with noting to do with oil. There are people living in Iran under conditions we can't even comprehend- do you blame them for the "greediness" of oil prices? What we truly need to do is find an alternative to our dependency on oil, not get it from another country! The amount of oil we consume is destroying our environment faster than anyone realized, we CAN'T keep it up! It's not some "tree-hugger" perspective, this is the real deal! We have depleated way more oil than we originally calculated and we don't have much left. What are we going to do when we run out? Well, the government doesn't want us to think like that. They want us to just keep making their pockets fatter while we struggle to pay for gas to make it to work each day, or can't sell our car because no one can afford to drive anymore? We're the ones who suffer, not the people in power. Remember, they are the ones with an endless supply of our hard earned dollars.

Iran doesn't need the nuke. They want it. They want it to attack Israel. They think they need it because they know Israel does have nuclear capability. Trying to play catch up.
Look at who is leader of Venezuala. Hugo Shavez. He hates the US. Might be a little problem getting cozy with Hugo.

Should we really buy oil from Venezuela, where Communist President Hugo Valdez openly states his hatred for the U.S.A. and plots the downfall of our country? He is real cozy with Fidel Castro.
Hey, for anyone who doesn't already know, CITGO Petroluem, based in Houston, is a U.S. corporation, but it is a subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela S.A., which is owned by Venezuela. Need I say more?

They think they need them because, when we and most of the world "finally" weens itself off of fossil fuels they will have absolutely nothing to offer the world and will barley be able to feed themselves. It is time to end the use of fossil fuels.
If we end it it will increase terrorism for a while but it will ultimately
"run out of gas" so to speak since they will loose the income to support terror.
