I do not like the idea of other (unstable) countries obtaining nuclear weapons.
However I wonder why our polititians think we have the responsibility to tell another nation what defenses they can have. We seem to think we need these weapons for our defense so why shouldn't other countries? Are we so superior to them that we can have them and they can't?

If we truly believe that they are developing these weapons to use against us and war is inevitable then maybe military intervention now is necessary in order to avoid a much larger conflict later. One can only hope our current crop of polititians know what they are doing.
