<The moral course with regards to despots and genocidal maniacs requires action>

Certainly. As I have consistently said.

Multilateral action.

Military action, but only after everything else has been tried (which it hasn't, in the case of both Iraq and N. Korea).

Denying them the tools and technology for violence, especially massive indiscriminate violence. And I mean doing this consistently. The U.S. has a poor track record for consistency, in non-proliferation. We only get excited about it, when the thugs we don't control want the tools of destruction. Thugs we do control (even if our control is tenuous and likely to be im-permanent), we'll sell them anything, or at least look the other way.
