Yes. Ahmadinejad is religiously motivated to get Iran nuclear weapons. Not only could he then use it as blackmail against Israel and the West, but he could use it against the Sunni majority nations in the long running Sunni-Shia schism.

L’il Kim and his successors have a basket case of a country and nuclear blackmail is all that they have going for them.

Yeah but China has li’l Kim’s back to a large degree. Who has Dinnerjacket’s back?
