If we were so concerned about a secular Saddam Hussein secretly making nuclear technology and resources available to Islamic terrorists hell-bent on killing Americans, what do you think a fundamentalist Islamic regime might do?

We went to a pre-emptive war against Iraq erroneously claiming he had the capacity to build nukes. So now what are we going to do with the Iranians given that they're actually capable of doing this?

Saddam's missiles had a maximum range of 126 miles. Iran has ballistic missiles capable of striking the heart of Europe.

So we spend hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives taking out Saddam and we let the Iranians do as they please?!?

The naive hypocrisy of the neocons is absolutely astonishing. Just think if we had applied your logic to Iraq, 1,843 American soldiers might still be alive.
