The answer could be quite simple.
Iran, like other nations around the world, may have come to realize that having a nuclear weapon or two in its arsenal is the best insurance possible to keep an empire-building, freedom spreading, democracy promoting(and oil crazy) United States Federal Government at arms length... and the United States military out of its territory.
It could be that simple. Most of the world is scared to death of America's worldwide military aggressions, and would dearly love to have their own nuclear bargaining chips.

Here's hoping none of these "poker chips" get played, thus leaving us cashing in ours!
Kinda' shoots hell out of that whole, artificial science v. religion pseudo-argument too:
If Iran acquires nukes, they will be stamped "Made In China" or leftover USSR stockpile, since Islam lends itself so easily to totalitarianism, and the last nuclear threat from bankrupt, destitute North Korea could not even make it across the sea of Japan. Authoritarian dictatorships develop nothing but graveyards, and mixing one with the religion of hate only accelerates the process.
Am I the only one here who's noticed that since the Arab cultures divorced themselves from their Medo-Persian Imperial heritage and took up Islam, they've been going BACKWARD on the development scale, not forward?
