And, sadly, nuclear weapons are not outside of the reach of any country willing to put a bigger dick above the welfare of their people.

I'm not sure if I agree with that. I don't know for sure, but I think most government's that don't seem to care for the welfare of their people are unable to procure or create nuclear weapons. It's not a very big club at the moment. Perosnally, I don't even think NK has nukes, primarily because if they did have them I think they would publicly test them, and if they worked, NK would come out with a big loud "back off!".

And back to the original discussion, I don't think the US wants a government that is apparently dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the destruction of the great Satan (that's us, baby!) to have ANY stronger weapons.

Ted appears to think its a great idea to give them a nuclear arsenal along with a bunch of Spokane high school choir one week exchange trips to moderate their extremists.

Yeah, ok, nukes aren't particularly useful for most military objectives, but they make a certain kind of sense in a Tim Taylor sort of way.

Oh yeah?! Well, uhmm. Who's Tim Taylor?
