They are very few Arabs in Iran.
Iran is mostly Persian.
Which Arab terrorists are you referring to?
Do you even know what you are talking about?

Iran isn't an Arab country, its Persian. Many people make that error.
As for trying to level us with nukes, that's another matter. I understand why Iran seeks nuclear weapons as a nation-state. Its a matter of prestige as well as a deterrent against the US and the surrounding Sunni states (Iran is predominantly Shia).
Iran is also not the primary nation sponsoring terrorism against the US. Our ally Saudi Arabia (a Sunni nation) provides the majority of the funding, gathered from private citizens. In the case of funding terror in Iraq the money is actually smuggled in via car and truck to support the Sunni insurgents.
Regarding Iran and nuclear weapons - the potential threat is definitely there, but as you point out, the only delivery system that Iran would have in attacking the US would be to smuggle a nuclear weapon into the country. That's the real scary thing to me...
We really have no effective means to prevent anyone from smuggling the parts to assemble a bomb here, or even to stop a complete weapon from being so smuggled.
Personally though - I'm more afraid of North Korea. They have the bomb, and they have a missile that can reach parts of the US... within a few years they should be able to put the two together... and then things get really scary.

Er, Iran is not Arabic. Good try though. Second, they have not threatened the US. There is a certain other country down there they are more annoyed with, and THEY have the bomb also.
I think the nuclear ambition part is more to keep us from leveling them, not the other way around.

If Iran uses or threatens to use nukes they will be nuked out of existence. Pluetonium is traceable. So any nucleur terrorist attack can be tracked back to an originator of the material

We know Pakistan has them and they shelter Bin Ladin. Terrorist raids come from Pakistan into Afghanistan. Ever wonder why Bush ignors the real threat and gets everybody's attention elsewhere?

You asked what I believed....I believe they are misdirected human beings who have the same value in the eyes of God as we do....It is just that their Koran has taught them that everyone who is not muslim is an infidel, and all infidels have no value and should be destroyed...If they succeed the world will self destruct...I choose to follow the teachings of the Bible which teaches that we should assign value to all people, and in doing so live in peace one with another...I guess the greater question is, "Even if we do value them as equal human beings, how do we live in peace with someone who refuses to accept our kindness and only wants to kill us?"

I think we must destroy them. They have no right to live as they are hell bent on destruction of people around the world because of their wacked out religion and beliefs. They must be hunted down like the rabid dogs they are and killed plain and simple.

I think you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Try getting your facts from someplace other than tv dramas and your imagination.
