Worried? Well, you should be. As should we all. One of the "answerers" to this question already commented, basically stating that the media cannot be trusted. With that, I agree completely. CNN and FOX news channels and their reports are, for all intents and purposes, disinformation broadcasts. They report on issues that are of no consequence; they hype them up to get people focused and distracted from what is "really going on" and then supply us with tidbits and breadcrumbs of actual "topics of the utmost importance". Case in point: Iran's nuclear program and how it has been developed so boldly "in our face" and how our government has spent the last several years "observing and examining" the "situation" in Iran. In actuality, the government has spent the last several years trying to justify their "stay the course" policies in Iraq so that when the time comes, and believe me, it is coming, they will have already placed our military in a position to invade Iran and continue its "presence" in the Middle East, fulfilling our role as "protectors of democracy" and "guardians of the world".
One interesting point to consider is the lack of media attention in recent months of the "situation" in North Korea. The last time they were in the news was immediately following an "alleged" underground nuclear test that our government, with all its superior technology and informational resources, could not confirm or deny that the "test" even happened (as reported by the media). Why the sudden shift from N. Korea to Iran. It is obvious that Iran has been placing insurgents in Iraq to continue the need for American involvement in that region. The leader of Iran has basically snubbed his nose at our "don't you do it, or else" (slap on the wrist) warnings. What does he really have to fear from us? So far, nothing. What do we, as Americans, have to fear? Well, definitely more than our government would lead us to believe.
The next several months to perhaps, a year, will tell us what "realities" have truly unfolded in the Middle East. That will be the area of the world that will determine whether we will be sending our children to college, or, sending them off to a war (that our government allowed to develop).
What would happen to our military if it were forced to fight a "nuclear threat" on opposite sides of the globe. Iran AND N. Korea. What if they were somehow assisting each other in the distractions that are necessary to allow them to complete their readiness to seriously damage our ability to "keep them in their place" on the world stage. It is truly unfortunate that our government and the press have united in their efforts to pacify the American people into worrying about whether their new car is IPOD or MP3 compatible, rather than worrying about the consequences of the question that you asked. History has already told us that a "two front" war is virtually impossible to win. We did it in WWII. But, that was a conventionaly war; which curiously ended ONLY because of the use of a little thing called nuclear fusion. We had it and Japan and Germany did not. What if they had? Iran and North Korea do; where will we be when they use theirs? I'm worried too.

America is egging Iran on to get involved. They don't want to but feel they have to since they're being pushed around by the world's biggest bully. As soon as Iran gets pushed to it's breaking point by the US, they'll do something stupid and American will have all the support from everyone to get involved and take them out. They're of no threat to anyone if they're left alone. But the "Axis of Evil" must be stopped. Afghanistan was a stepping stone for Iraq and Iraq for Iran. Wait and see.

I would worry more about idiotic responses to Irans production of nuclear fuel. Seems like intelligence can be twisted to serve any agenda.

I think the media is just as much as an enemy as Iraq or Iran.
There has to be a better way to deal with what is going on with both counties.
Its all very sad

Iran? Very much. Iraq? Forget about it, does no harm to me.

Don't be worried.
I'm sure Iran and Korea can expect a nuclear 'accident' any time now. We're really good at saying, "Told you so" !
(remember Chernobyl)

I am sorry that you are worried but does it really make any difference at all if we are concerned about it or not?
