This theory works for countries which have relatively stable governments-and which have something to lose.

The problem with Iran is you have a radical religious order running the country-and they support a leader who openly talks about wiping Israel off the face of the earth.

Iran is stable. The government of the mullahs has been in place for 30 years. Yes, it had a disputed election, but so did the United States in 2000. It's not Somalia. My take is that Iran is way more stable than nuclear-armed Pakistan.

As for Ahmadinejad's big mouth, lots of political leaders shoot off their mouths. You can't take every sound bite seriously. The relevant fact is that Iranian foreign policy isn't under Ahmadinejad's control.
