>>So should the USA and the free world let a fanatic islam controlled country get nukes?<< Lorne - Of course not, if we can help it. Nobody is suggesting that we should take no action to try to prevent our enemies from arming themselves with nukes. But that doesn't mean that attacking a country that hasn't attacked us is moral, justifiable, or wise. Even if you aren't worried about the morality question, there is the much larger question of whether pursuing the policy of "pre-emptive defense" is wise. Will it really work? Will it make us more secure to keep jabbing at every ghost we think we see? Or will it instead have the effect of turning more people against us, since to them we look more and more like aggressors? As you can see from the recent news story I posted, already we have North Korea's foreign ministry saying that pre-emptive strikes are not the sole province of the U.S. The more irrationally we behave as a nation, the more we convince our enemies that they should strike first. - Allen
