Does this mean the Bush Administration (and others) have lost their ground to go to war any time soon?

I am curious as to what would happen if they did make a nuclear weapon. How would that effect the middle east, or the world?

It is said that if they attack, say, Israel, that Iran would pretty much be committing suicide. But who says they will attack anyone? There seems to be a growing voice that states perhaps Iran should have the same opportunity as so many others have to create nuclear power, if not a nuclear weapon.

Then again, it seems at times as though the United States wants the middle east to have enough weapons that it can destroy itself. Like a large arms trade.
