Here is a thought.

After what has happened to Iraq - ie being invaded because the US and our Government lied and said they had WMD - isn't it ironic that the ony way to dissuade the same thing from happening to your country is to ACTUALLY have WMD.

Funny that, now we have North Korea and Iran both pursuing the nuclear option only months after they were names on Bush's 'axis of evil'. Once Iran have it, so will Hezbollah. Then the Saudi's will say they need it and probably be given it. The Syrians and Jordanians will get it leaked to them. I wonder if the Israelis will consider pre-emptive strikes (after all, they don't have mch history of diplomatic negotiations or forebearance)

America will be the prime target for the setting off of a 'dirty bomb'. With so many people with the technology, they will not be able to tell whose it is, so they will make something up and attack someone without WMD again.

It seems that the end of the cold war has produced another era of nuclear profileration, brought on by our short sighted and stupid leaders.
