They aren't waiting for the earth to be filled with injustice and oppression, they are waiting for things to get better. In the case of Shia Muslims, they believe you got to prepare the world to be a better place where people will strive to stand up for justice and accept the truth, they seek to make it better for the appearance to be sooner rather then later. At the end, no one knows how long it will take per Shia tradition, for all they know it can be another 1000 years or 2000 years or whatever before Imam Mahdi comes.
And the hadiths about the world being filled with injustice and oppression before Imam Mahdi rule is in Sunni hadiths. There is no difference with regards to this in either Sunni or Shia hadiths.
No one is seeking suicide for their people. Iranians don't believe in using nukes. Their scholars have forbidden nuclear weapons.

Only when something like an american embassy siege happens,or a large group of tourists get slaughtered,or another 9/11, we then remember how brutal, unmerciful and non-tolerant Muslims are . And then some hippies come along and say the old say : "Its not Islam, they're just a few extremists" .
