No doubt. Have a feeling that if the roles were reversed (such as Venezuela had imported nuclear tipped missiles capabable of hitting the US with Chavez saying he was going to strike the US), then you would see our military taking those out. They would be a direct threat to the US.

I'm not sure how our leaders perceive Iran's threat to wipe Israel off the face of the planet. If I was in their shoes, wouldn't let anyone stop me from eliminating the threat.
