Make all the excuses you want. What you or I believe or think is not important for the security of the world. What the governments of North Korea, Iran, Sudan +++ believe is important. What they learned is that security from the US comes only with having a big F.. You All weapon.

The logic here escapes me. So, because unstable and hostile regimes might worry that other nations will take steps to reduce and neutralize the threat they pose to the world, they might therefore develop WMD's - and so we shouldn't provoke them?

These are people and governments who cannot be reasoned with or placated. They can only be contained - or neutralized. Yes, its a dirty and dangerous business, but that's the kind of world we live in - and it was so before the US started to do something about it. Burying your head in the sand about what kind of people we're dealing with will only get you kicked in your prominently displayed rear end.
