Iran and its fucked up leader Ahmadinejad isn't strong with its people, but they have a strong position in the middle east. Cash is running in fast due to oil, saddam is gone, so is taliban and iran supported groups are grabbing power in both libanon (hizbollah), palestina (hamas) and Syria (bashar assads). They are currently superior in the region and they know it.

Don't let this post lead you to the belief that I support that fucked up country. Their crimes again humany is just plain awful - support Amnesty International and Humans Rights Watch. Nothing would please me more than to see Ahmadinejad getting a leg chopped off (commong punishment for "creating public fear") and see him slowly hang from a crane in public (common punishment for stuff like "enemy of god" or perhaps decided by the victims family (gisas principle)...

Iran and its leaders are just plain evil
You are very wrong in my opinion. The probability of Israel attacking Iran's facilities is VERY high, and of course it will cause an all-out war between Iran and Israel, but since when has that stopped Israel before? Of course the US will be dragged into fighting on Israel's behalf also. I don't consider the Iranian leadership evil for their current position though, Iran isn't as backward as you might believe, and although it isn't an ideal society by any stretch of the imagination it is absolutely not suprising they want nukes when their main rival in the region (Israel) has them (built with US dollars of course).
