Re: "It been US policy since 1998, of two administrations and with bipartisan support, to effect regime change in Iraq. That is not the case with Iran and N. Korea."

>>> OK, but so what?

>>> The question raised was about nuclear proliferation.

>>> Do you believe the World would be a safer place with Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, Brazil, etc., hawking nuclear wares to the next generation of countries wanting to 'go nuclear'?

>>> (I think, we might add Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to the list of 'emergent nuclear powers' pretty soon, too. Perhaps Egypt, Indonesia and others as well....)

>>> What would that do to the US's ability to exert it's power around the World. Would the days of US power-exertion in the Middle East be over?

>>> How safe a World would we have with 20 to 30 nuclear-armed states?
