"the havoc Iran could cause" vs Iran not to "use a nuclear bomb unless attacked first?"

Brian,here's a contradiction in your appreciation of what the Iranian government is willing to do: On the one hand you can imagine Iran to react in all sorts of uncontrolled ways outside its territory and the persian gulf agressively in a way that is of no use to them in the event of an attack at the nuclear facilities. On the other hand you expect them to be perfectly reasonable with a nuclear bomb of their own. What do you think, are they reasonable or unpredictable ?
