Wagener: Opportunity and risk in Tehran
The American people have been focused inward during the hard-fought election season, so it is no surprise that media attention has shifted away from the tense situation in the Middle East. Unfortunately, ignoring the imminent danger of a nuclear-armed Iran has done little to cool President Ahmadinejad’s zeal for weapons capable of obliterating New York or wiping Israel “from the pages of time.” The next administration cannot afford to ignore the threat from Iran, given that international watchdogs believe Iran will be nuclear-capable by 2015 at the latest.

Maybe A nuclear Iran would not be so bad for Israel ? Shiites are outnumbered and outgunned by sunnis, so they feel the need to have nukes to protect themselves. Perhaps Amejidenad will give belligerent Anti-Israel, Sunni nations a new and powerful enemy to loathe ?
I don't think Amejadinad will attack Israel. Israel has there own huge arsenal of Nuclear and biological weapons to use against any potential attacker. Furthermore, he is not going anywhere as long as Putin is behind him.
