If the situation required it (for deterrence against Iraq), Saudi Arabia could have nukes in a matter of days. They could buy them from any of a half dozen countries. By the time Iraq has them, the number of countries that are nuclear armed is likely to be even larger.

Well - I am not really sure what to say to that. Self-evidently true that other countries don't find it so easy to just buy nukes. If it were that easy everyone would be armed. Certainly Sadam, who has been trying to procure them for decades. NOI but it truly does sound like you are looking for reasons not to get involved - and in this case grasping at straws. So let me ask a question (an honest one) - why do you not want to get involved? Would you get involved if you saw a known criminal purchasing a gun in your neighborhood? In someone else's neighborhood?
