I see this as a double standard because here we are trying to convince the world not to stockpile its WMD (India, Pakistan, North Korea as recent examples). On a side note, we are advocates of democracy, but has our government done things democratically in the international scene lately?

What example/precedence does this set. What are our priorities? I figured health care for the masses, Social Security, and stimulation of the market would benefit our global economy more than this. I have other reasons, but let's discuss. I realize most people who participate here are pro-war and groupthink flies rampant through here.
