Well, then again our president is on some kind of democratic crusade it would seem, so that might be a good part of the cause too.
I think you have it backwards. Most in the Middle East have "beef" with us because we're allied with Israel, which many in the region view as an illigitimate state. Also, the US has a problem with Iran having a nuke because they are one of the only state-sponsors of terrorism (Hezbollah). So, thus, the fear is that Iran would be willing to hand off these nukes to terrorist groups. I highly doubt that, however, because any attack made by a terrorist group using a nuke will point almost everyone's finger at Iran...well, AND Pakistan. I think this administration and those behind the scenes have had Iraq and Iran in their game plans for quite some time and are itching for a reason. Iran better be careful about what it says and does though. They have more to fear from Israel than the U.S. The U.S., aggressive as it may be, is much more likely to seek diplomatic means to solve any potential conflict. Israel will happily use it's nuclear aresenal if provoked (a nuclear arsenal they do not acknowledge possessing, but that everyone knows is there).
Anyways, Yeah, I LOVE politics actually

Huh, didn't I write that?
I seriously doubt Iran is looking for a conflict, hence their cooperation with the UN.

Like I said, you said it backwards from the way I said it. It basically amounts to the same thing, but can be confusing. If you go back through history, the muslim world in the middle east, including Iran, has beef with the US because of its support for Israel. We have beef with Iran, yes because we support israel, but more so because they threaten Israel. If Iran didn't support terrorism in general and speak of eradicating Israel, we wouldn't really have anything to be upset about. It's their link to terrorist organizations that we have a problem. So, basically, we're saying the same thing, just differently
