It would be very stupid and dangerous, and it wouldn't do anything to make us safer.
It's exactly what our real enemies, Al-Qaeda want us to do. That's because they know they can't actually defeat the US in a conventional war. They are trying to do it by slowly bleeding our economy dry through endless wars.
I haven't seen any proof that they are building nuclear bombs and I really doubt that they are trying to. They are only enriching the uranium to about 4% purity, they would need to clean it up much more (80% or higher) if they wanted to build a bomb.
Ahmadinejad is not the actual leader of Iran. The person who really controls Iran is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This person has issued a fatwa saying that
Besides, if they did want to make nuclear bombs, they wouldn't make it so obvious that they were doing it. They would do it in secret and they would deny it in public.
Even if they were building them, they wouldn't give it to a terrorist. If they were going to do something like that they would have already done it. They have the capability to make biological and chemical weapons and they may already have them.
The media says that he wants to "wipe Israel off the map" but you shouldn't believe everything the media says. Many people think that was a bad translation, because the phrase "wipe off the map" doesn't exist in the farsi language. The true translation is "The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time". Even MEMRI, which is run by the IDF, agrees that this is the right translation. But it doesn't really matter, he has clarified what he meant and he says that it will vanish like the Soviet Union vanished. This is what he said about this subject when he spoke at Columbia University recently:
Look, there's really no good reason to attack Iran. The majority of Americans don't want to fight Iranians and I don't think they want to fight Americans. I don't even think Ahmadinejad wants war...
Iran is a Shia country and A.Q. and the Taliban are Sunni terrorist groups. The Iranians don't like these groups any more than we do. They actually helped us when we went into Afghanistan. Also, Iran was the only middle eastern country that held candlelight vigils for the victims of 9/11...
As for the "great satan" stuff... what do you expect? The western world backed Saddam when he attacked them, they helped him make chemical weapons which he used against Iran and they overthrew their democratic government and replaced it with a dictatorship. It isn't surprising that many of them hate our government. I would also if I were in their position.
But Iran has a very young population. After the Islamic Revolution, the leaders of Iran told people to have lots of children. They did this and now, the old Iranians who remember all those things are outnumbered by the young ones, many who like the US and western culture. These young people want change.

Eventually, Iran will change. They could be a great ally to us in the future but if we attack them that will never happen. Actually, they could be a great ally now...
Here's a documentary about Iran.. I think all Americans should watch it.

So... what other reasons are there to attack Iran? Why should we attack them instead of making friends with them? How would this benefit us? Are you ready to accept the consequences of it? (10$ gas) I'll be waiting for an answer to these questions...

I really don't think he would be saying that if the leader of Iran's armed forces (Khamenei) was building them.

It doesn't sound like he wants to nuke Israel. It doesn't sound like he's the new Hitler. Actually, there are 25,000 jews living in Iran and they refuse to leave even when Israeli Jews try to bribe them into leaving. They also have representation in the Iranian parliament. There is a TV show about an Iranian Muslim Man and a French Jewish Woman who fall in love during the 1940's. The man rescues the woman from the Nazi concentration camps and they flee to Iran..
