I agree. There is no proof. There rarely is in life.

But we also need to look at the context. After Afghanistan and Iraq, which are of course quite different situations, there is some skepticism out there.

In the context of proof vs Iraq, the nuclear deal with India, the situation with NK, and the ownership of nuclear weapons by the US - I would be looking for a consistent moral argument to come from Washington, before in any way supporting action.

And I think that's got to be true for many others around the world (and probably locally in the states?).

I don't like the idea of a nuclear armed Iran, but I think that if the US bombs Iran - it'll piss enough people off that new enemies will rise to take their place. At some point, you'll find that you can't attack them all.
