>>That's all it is, is hope. Wishful thinking, which requires ignoring all available evidence.

Jacob, What evidence? A great nation going to war - when one of stated purposes is to prevent an acquisition of nuclear weapons by a dangerous dictator is UNPRECEDNTED. And yes, I hope this will stop other totalitarian clowns from going for the nukes.

Will we succeed? If we don't, we are in deepest trouble anyway, so why not try.

The fact that organized crime outfits like the NK government may have nukes only shows that we started taking non-proliferation seriously a little too late in the game. We were lulled into inaction by the prosperity and the bubble.

>>Our official non-proliferation PR is just a cover for trying to unilaterally disarm our enemies

So, what do you suggest, it would be more "fair" to ARM them?
