Pakistan shared. Remember AQ Khan? He shared so much, we believe that is how North Korea got their capability. Crazy or greedy people share nuclear technology quite a bit. Hell, even Russia shares too much.

I'm sorry. I'm open minded, but the thought of any other Muslim country getting a nuclear bomb is not a very appealing one to me. The fact Pakistan has one is already plenty for us to be concerned about. Iran getting one will start a nuke arms race in the Middle East that no one will be able to control. Then we'll all just be biding our time until the mushroom cloud hits our shores.

No way. We need to stop Iran at all costs. If diplomacy doesn't work, then our government needs to figure out what other options we have to stop it.

During the 1990s, there were intermittent clues from intelligence that AQ Khan was discussing the sale of nuclear technology to countries of concern. By early 2000, intelligence revealed that these were not isolated incidents. It became clear that Khan was at the centre of an international proliferation network. By April 2000, the UK Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) was noting that there was an evolving, and as yet incomplete, picture of the supply of uranium enrichment equipment to at least one customer in the Middle East, thought to be Libya, and evidence linking this activity to Khan.
