Additionally worrisome is Iran's alliances with the likes of Hugo Chavez. Even if they just share their 'leftovers', a dirty bomb dropped by a Cessna over D.C. or metropolitan area of choice.

Oh please! Just look at the strategic ratios.

Israel- 200+ warheads
Iran- none
Venezuela, why would they do that, when the U.S. has between 5,000 to 10,000 nuclear warheads.

Stop the fear mongering. Why should Israel have unilateral control of nuclear arms in the region?
