The US isn't afraid of the Iran. We've had a "history" with the Iranian Government going back decades. The US meddled in the internal affairs of Iranian politics, letting the Shah take control of Iran. Then when he was overthrown by the Islamic fundamentalists and the US Embassy hostages were seized and held for over a year, the relations went extremely cold. They warmed a bit, or at least were a bit less hostile. Then the US shot down the Iranian passenger jet (I forget what year) and the Iranians thought it was deliberate. I don't think the American people were ever given a full account of that event.
The problem between the two basically boils down to one word - oil; Iran has it, and the U.S. wants it at a cheap price.

I wish we were as a country. Then it would be no problem getting the political will do deal with the threats made by Iran. The Iranian government has threatened to destroy us, and routine supplies terriorist with weapons. Should the Iranians obtain nuclear weapons their threats would have to be taken seriously and it would be necessary to neutralize them.
For my self I think the support of terrorism, the attempt to obtain nuclear weapons, combined with the threats to destroy us, make Iran a perfect target for a nuclear strike. The would be a good example to other would-be nuclear powers as well as other nations that support terrorism.
If my finger was on the button the missles would already have flown and Iran would be a smoldering nuclear wasteland.

The Usa is not afraid of Iran, it just considers anyone with nuclear technology a threat to them. what i don't get is that why is'nt anyone else allowed to have nuclear technology except them. Does'nt any other country have the right to develope themselves? And now North Korea has a nuclear bomb, let's see what happens now.

Possibly because the Iranians speak English the way you asked your question and the Americans are not sure what they mean???
On a more serious note, USA is not scared of Iran per se. They are purely concerned about the huge oil reserve Iran has and the fact that USA does not have any control over it yet. They are only making excuses about the terror threat etc so they can get their hands in this oil reserve.

Because they are about 10 times bigger than Iraq and it is a nation of "terrorists" where as Iraq only had "terrorists" in it and controlling that country has proved to be harder than they thought.
I don't believe they would win that fight, while fighting Iraq. With them also fighting Palestine's & Lebanon disguised as Israle, the inevedability of them between North Koria, then China when China invades Taiwan as they said they will back Taiwan & China could invade them any moment, then possibly Russa will finish them to become the most powerfull nation and fulfiull there dreams.
Lets this just happens before they (U.S.) invade Venezwailer.
But rember the U.S. is actually just one nation of nations and peoples who will bring peace and rule the world with a Global power "The New World Order". These nations/peoples include, The United Nations, United Kindome, U.S., Germany (nazis), Tha Vatacan, Masions, A certain family of Jews, ET's, Tha list goes on and on.

This is a very good question. I doubt seriously that Iran poses a real threat to the United States - beyond interfering with US foreign policy in the Middle East, We pose more of a threat to them.

Iran is a dictatorial Theocracy that has advocated the Destruction of Both The United States and Israel. They train terrorists to kill innocent civilians and are attempting to acquire Nuclear Bombs to further their evil goals.
Just as the Nazis under Hitler and the Communists of the USSR were supporters of evil and needed to be stopped for the good of the world, so do supporters of radical Islam.
