-agree completely.

When India/Pakistan/N. Korea/Etc. first got the bomb, there was much chatter and gnashing of teeth about how it was the end of the world (much akin to how liberals think blood will run in the streets if national concealed carry is adopted). And yet, nobody has nuked anyone in a very long time (that we conclusively know of). Iran seems far more stable than N. Korea so I really don't think Tehran getting the bomb, which is a when, not if scenario, is going to be that big of a deal.

It all makes for great political theatre but when a person analyzes which countries have actually nuked people, the U.S. isn't in any position to dictate who should be allowed to have it and who should not. I don't have any qualms with how it was used on Japan but let's not somehow suggest we are righteous and nobody else would know right from wrong with a nuclear device.

I worry about fire on the windy days we have or my bald tires on snow days, -a nuclear event isn't even on my radar.
