Also, you know... you're wrong on that too.
There is world opinon polls that state "Should there be an attack on Iran" in which it is answered now.
If you phrase the question "If negotiations fail to get Iran to stop it's nuclear plans should there be an attack".
The answer is yes. Most people trust in the negotiations.
The majority of EU states population agree to an attack.

And why should the USA attack a country that poses no threat to its homeland security?

Well for one because nuclear weapons are a threat to homeland security. More proliferation is a HUGE threat to homeland security, hell there is already a pretty big homeland security threat with people like Pakistan having nuclear weapons. You don't see the security risk in a place like Iran developing nuclear weapons? What with their funding of terrorist orgizations, the revolutionary guard, and the fact that they could be taken down at anytime by the population who hates them leading for a free for all for nuclear bombs? So the answer is, because it already poses a threat to homeland security, and nuclear weapons would be a further threat.
Two, because Iran is a threat to Europe. The Wikileaks cables pretty much show as much (for those paying attention) due to them buying missles used for nuclear weaponry that are mid-range and could strike and threaten europe. Most of europe is in NATO, it probably wouldn't even be a US airstrike but a joint US/EU airstrike

By your reasoning the US should bomb itself since the US has done all what you accuse Iran of but on a much larger scale. And it was well understood if the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq terrorism would massively increase. And guess what...it did. Pakistan and Afghanistan are both far less stable than they were before the invasions. And how is Iran a threat to Europe or the US? Because they may be able to deter an attack? That is the real issue here. That Iran maybe able to defend itself. Cause military they are not a threat offensively. They spend less than most countries in the region on their military and their posture is purely defensive. Iran has massive amounts of American firepower that surrounds it because they are an independant nation in the heart of the worlds major oil producing region. They are the ones under threat.

Countries don't bomb themselves or their allies. Nor is the US near the actual risk of carrying through with such things as Iran.
