All their actions are calculated against the threat they perceived the US have against them. Yes, they fear the US too.

Why are they going for the nuke? Simple, it's their ticket to not getting invaded. They saw what happen to North Korea and figured that they better get the bomb so there will be no war on their shore.

Nobody can afford to invade the whole region and its pure stupidity to even think about it. Iraq was a stupid move, big time stupid move. Now the payment is paid in Afghanistan, where the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have re-taken over part of the country again. We can also blamed that on the corrupt Afghan government, but thta is another thread all together.

As for the debt, I think your mistake government debt with consumer debt. The two different concept. You see the deficit spendings, wars need to be finance somehow. The US government sell bonds to finance it. Guess who busy em, investors and foreign governments. Who own the biggest US debt, your friendly Chinese government. (Sarcasm in case you didn't notice) Middle Eastern governments also own many of those bonds.

Thanks for clearing that up. It all makes sense, but we can't win a war on terror unless we invade the root of the problem, and it's coming from that region.
