There are many ways of looking at this complex issue... I'm sure there were many errors and inconsistencies along the way... But I do know one thing - once the barriers to nukes are lowered, and various wacky and apocalyptic "leaders" and revolutionaries get their fingers on the buttons, the odds for the long term survival of our civilization (and maybe even of our species) become fairly doubtful.

Artistic visions reflected in works such as the "Mad Max" series, or, let's say, the "Terminator" (with the exception of time travel -g) - may begin to look not quite as far fetched.

Iran has every right to nuclear weapons IMHO.

Iran and the Arab states have many times proposed that all Middle East states renounce nukes. But Israel with a few hundred nukes refuses to this backed by the US. Too the US has stated it does not rule out the use of nukes against non-nuclear states.

The hypocrisy of those screaming about an Iranian nuclear threat is nothing short of nauseating
