I don't think we can open that can of worms in the name of preventing nuclear proliferation. If Iran will come to the table in good spirit this can be averted. If they continue their quest for nuclear arms then I believe we can use conventional means (air raids and conventional rockets) to set them back many years. It is not in Iran's best interest to rock the boat at this point in time. As of earlier today Russia and Iran had postponed their agreement on the transfer of nuclear fuel. Thats a step in the right direction

I'm troubled that there seems to be a lessening of resistance to the use of Nukes.

Nuclear weapons have been used offensively on two occasions in the last 55 years. An attitude that tolerates or accepts even limited use of nuclear weapons would not be a good thing, IMO.
