How does Iran pose a danger to the US? Are the Mullahs going to ride their carpets and throw stones?

Khameini has already warned that they are going to close the Strait of Hormuz if the US launches a military strike.

Team Bushas I call them seems to only understand war drums from their own brains.I think it can be compared to drug addicts needing a fix,,in this case its "bombs away". that is the worst thing Bushco could do. Iran is peaceful,many millions of younger people just looking for a decent future. the leadership of A-Jad is questionable but no threat to anyone.A-Jad is a talker not a terrorist. I think religion in this country of Iran is more better for the lady,s than Saudi scum bags allow for their women.I saw a 60 Minuit movie on Iran yesterday ,I now understand more.yes the anti American marches go on ,but only for show I think,,,as the millions of people want better things for themselves. progression is a positive thing,,nuclear energy is a big benefit not only for Iran but for the world,as it cuts down on pollution.Bushco is thinking to destroy all their nuclear sites & Technology FOREVER...that is insane & can not be done. perhaps Bushco will be unable to complete their war dreams before elections next year,lets hope so."peace and tranquility to you"chow my dear...F.P

I spent an interesting 10 minutes reading your answers.
The one I thought made most sense was from 'kiker'!
I don't know why the media seems to have dried up on the subject of the 'intelligence' report , of late?
They now admit they are pretty sure Iran stopped even thinking about atomic weapons n 2003!
Is this the same team that told us that Saddam had hoarded thousands of WMD?
Is Bush satisfied now???
No chance , he has now said that if that is the case then he wants to know how far they got with atomic research prior to 2003!!!
No one seems to want to know the Iran side of the story re 'Jews have no right to exist'!
Where did the story come from? What was actually said?
The Iranian side of this story is just as valid as the one we have all heard about, and if anyone cares to check it out it makes interesting reading!
I am not trying to say that Iran have no faults, they have! But so do we Brits and Americans, or cant that possibly be true???
If it boils down to a question of culture why do the allies think the sun shines from the Saudis rear end? Are they so very different from Iranians?

Once again. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Now, to answer your question. . . It's not so much the sticks, and the stones that are so dangerous. No! it's the people that would like to take us so called "infidels" out by any means whatsoever! Whether, it be strapping some dynamite around their waist, and flipping the "dead man's" switch, and taking out fifty innocent people, or taking out millions with an atom bomb, whether it be a "dirty bomb," the kind that releases radiation, or, the type that turns your city into fiery, mushroom cloud.
Wanna stop terrorism? How about we hit them in their wallet! I have been saying this for years! We need to stop our dependence on foreign oil, and start using alternative fuels.
No, I do not agree with Al Gore and his propaganda/movie which I call "The Awful Lie," but, I also don't care too much about Bush and his oil soaked buddies either.
If anything, remember this; both democrats, and republicans, as well as the Tri lateral commission (The ones that control the wold's economies) love their money, as well as their possession in their miserable existence.

Yes, Iran is dangerous, but only if he is attacked! The intelligence agencies of the US knows it, but the falcons at the head of the US gov don't want to hear it. They seems pretty ready to enter a WWIII killing millions of Americans, while the agencies are less warmonger, especially when you consider the fact that they are there to protect American peoples and interests... The Falcons in D.C only cares about the interests not their peoples... So the dispreancy in the Iran threat assessments. Who is right, I cannot tell, but the things I know is that we should all focus on finding ways to assure human survival, instead of looking at preserving one`s power over the other as this can only result in the annihilations of both...
Intelligence allows arrogance, and in arrogance raise the evils intentions. See who`s the most arrogant and you will find the bad peoples much easier, but learn to discerned it from fear.

Because Iran government has declared that all Jews do not have the right to exist and Israel is our closest ally in the Mideast.
It was Iran that supplied and supported the Hezbollah attacks on Israel earlier this year, what do you think they will do if they are allowed to develop a nuclear weapon?

EDIT:
Boy, and I bet they keep those 25,000 Jews in line don't they.
In a few years they probably won't have any Jews just like they don't have any homosexuals right now.
If any of those .027% minority ever support Zionism or America, the crime is punishable by death.
Germany had a lot more Jews before WWII, but Abadinajhad says Iranians believe the Holacaust never happened

Not exactly. It's more like, embed a sleeper in a western/israeli city with a nuclear device, or remove israel's "don't attack us or we'll nuke you" negotiating card, or even spread the technology to other arab states who currently do not have such technology. Everyone except for the political left thinks Iran is dangerous.
It's about diplomacy and politics. Who has power over israel? Israel... a nuclear armed iran would check that power, and cause instability once one of the two houses try to gain the upper hand.

I am assuming you are refering to the NIE that came out.
No one seems to have read it, which puzzles me as everyone seems to be talking about it.
The NIE clearly stated that Iran had ceased the Military Nuclear Weapons program in 2003....NOTHING is mentioned about abandoning their enriching of uranium to make weapons grade material!!
The military program is merely the delivery system platform. This is VERY VERY VERY important to realize...because what this shows is that Iran is not irrational or crazy..instead it shows they are quite intelligent and quick.
It is HERE that the Bush Administration is crippled, because their entire premise is that Iran is a fanatical hot-bottom that is too crazy and unstable to be taken seriously. Yet there efforts here show them to be far more accomplished that was given credit for.
Does this still make them a threat? Absolutely, but not one we CAN'T negotiate with...so there is no grounds for a real pre-emptive strike.
Iran has stopped the military program meaning that they can simple import a delivery system, which means once the weaponization of uranium is achieved and the imports popped up on western intelligence radars, it would be too late. Iran is permitted under the Nonproliferation laws to create and generate nuclear power, but they cannot enrich uranium, without allowing for inspections by the IAEA and systematic transparency. It is here where they are in violation, however, given their stable mindedness, it is now apparent that we can negotiate with them and they are not as fanatical as portrayed before.
So, again, yes they are dangerous, but No, not to the point where a pre-emptive strike is warranted. I think its actually a good thing the Bush Administration brought this information to light...cause they could have had it buried...but they chose to humble themselves internationally by saying they were wrong...perhaps something was learned from Iraq afterall.

Iran's government thinks America is the devil . We are the ultimate evil as far as they are concerned. Iran's leaders are convinced that sooner or later we will attempt to overthrow them again. So to prevent that Iran is willing to do anything and support anyone to stop us. There leaders are paranoid and fanatical about America's involvement in there nation.

It appears that the NIE report was not very credible.
You don't think so?
These intelegence agencies are the same ones that gave us IRAQ!
Still want to actually believe them?
Mosad IS the #1 best intelegence agency in the world.....and they disagree with the NIE.
So does Josh Bolton, and he personally knows that personal agendas of persons writting this report are influencing the intelegence accessments contained in it.
Iran is bent on developing nuke capabilities and systems for delivery like missles.
This makes Iran the 31 threat to peace in the world, way moreso than even Al Queida or China & Russia
