Iran is proven to have assisted the 9/11 hijackers by passing them
through customs without passports.  That means that they knew who they
were and willfully allowed them travel to US.  They must have known
what their intent was.  To my mind they are the country we should've
invaded if we were going to invade anyone.

Further, many of the "insurgents" in Iraq are supported with Iranian
money.  If Iran can easily develop nukes, what's to stop them from
passing them on to terrorists; people they've already been proven to
help attack America?

They are dangerous because they are desperate - they have no money,
and no source of income.  They will do what they have to to get it and
they've been successful with military threats.  If we continue to
ignore them I have no doubt that they will launch at someone to
provoke a war.  Why not?  There's nothing to lose.  That's what makes
them so dangerous.
