Article starts with Iran, but then devolves to Hezbo and then Arafat. Is Iran such a great danger? Sure they are part of the Axis of Evil and all, but are they all suicidal?

Don't know if the Iranians are suicidal. But in the Iran-Iraq war, Iran was outgunned but fought Saddam Hussein to a standoff by employing "human-wave" tactics.
A lot of Iranian youngsters were made to eat lead by their leaders in that war. Judging by what I read, these doomed soldiers went gladly and willingly.
The current generation may no longer be so willing to sacrifice themselves for the mullahs. Still, it would be a very bad idea to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.
