I came across this list the other day on antiwar.com. It's true that if Iran does have a weapon that there would be hysteria over it. Saddam was supposed to have them but that didn't stop us from marching in there. I would make the point that if they do indeed have a weapon, have had it for awhile, it should prove that there is no cause for panic at all. If they've had it then why haven't they "wiped Israel off the map" yet? This is also the sort of argument I've used against taking any sort of military aggression against Iran. The neocon death cultists tell us that we've been at war with Iran for 30 years. My thought is, if we've been at war with Iran since 1979, our low number of casualties is simply astonishing.
