If you want to insure that the U.S. does not face nuclear terrorism, make sure that Iraq, Iran, and other Terrorist sponsoring countries do not acquire nuclear weapons. You seem to suggest that diplomacy is useful in convincing other countries not to develop nuclear weapons. This sadly is IMHO as simplistic as just looking only to military solution to problems. The last two nations that tested nuclear weapons are not exactly first world nations, nor were they ignorant that they faced considerable international scorn and "punishment" for going nuclear. Yet India and Pakistan developed and tested nuclear warheads recently. A Pakistani leader had previously said that he was willing to force his people to eat grass - if that's what it took obtain nuclear weapons (certainly the sentiment of President of Iraq as well). Diplomacy has little effect if a nation's leaders is so determined to develop nuclear weapons.
