I just read a lot of little reasons why we as Americans should allow a mortal enemy to obtain a lethal parity with us.

Some reasons why we should not allow that :

The Iranians have tested detonating a missle at apogee , that is, at the top of the arc of flight.
The Iranians have tested firing a missle from a seaborne vessel comparable to any of the hundreds of cargo ships that approach the US coast every day.
The Iranians could deploy a terrorist EMP attack against the continental US killing millions from starvation, lack of sanitation and transportation. Imagine being thrown back to 1915. The attack would not necessarily be tracable back TO them.

They have demonstrated intent and developing capability. To allow them to have the capability is akin to signing a suicide pact.
