Edison wished he could stuff the genie back into the bottle. Once a country has the means to produce nuclear weapons they will feel compelled to produce them. I am not against Iran have a bomb and allowing New Zealand* to develop them. I am against any new members of the "we own a device that can only be used to destroy massive numbers of people and make land uninhabitable" club. I wish we could go back.

In a way the problem is similar to the criminal behavior of one or more members of Congress regarding the politicization of international counterterrorism. Eight represented members were told of an important secret program to protect us from terrorists. One criminal decided that they knew better than anyone else. They let the genie out of the bottle, and now US (and by proxy international) interests are compromised.

Iran has a terrorist as their President. They are not the model of stable democracy. One more unstable dictatorship who would schedule secret flights exporting their terrorist WMDs to Syria under pretense of flood relief. So, one unstable dictatorship gives the WMDs to another. Each link in this weak chain increases the risk of terrorists getting WMDs.

One other problem: Iran has been the largest state sponsor of terrorists for over a decade. Do you really want them to light up the ME?
