Re: In fact, nobody (including China and Russia) really wants to see another country to get the nuclear bomb. Which would make the world increasingly dangerous. I don't think so... otherwise, the North Korean crisis would have been settled long ago --after all, it's just a matter for China to twist Kim Jong Il's arm. The notion that the world would turn more insecure if other countries --not just terrorist outfits-- laid their hands on nuclear weapons is characteristically an American fancy. It betrays the prejudice that all nuclear wannabes are but a bunch of irresponsible, immature rogues unfit to join the (nuclear) club... EXCEPT Japan, of course! Japan, as a trustworthy US ally, is entitled to amend its constitution and beef up its military (against China). As a matter of fact, the world as it now stands is "increasingly dangerous" merely out of the fact that it lacks a proper checks and balances to counter rogue states such as the US and Israel... Only a month ago, a televangelist celebrity, Pat Robertson, publicly bragged about bumping off Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's elected head of state! How would the US media-military complex react if a friend of Hu Jintao called for assassinating Taiwan's president? So, Iran's president was right when, addressing the UN assembly, he denounced the nuclear apartheid, that is, the racist/supremacist notion that some peoples/civilizations are unfit to enjoy nuclear technology. Just like monopolies and oligopolies are unwholesome economically because they warp the market, push prices up, and harm consumers, a nuclear cartel is detrimental to world peace since it seeks to maintain other countries in permanent bondage....
