I read an article the other day about how the CIA gave blue-prints of a simple nuclear device to Iran apparently BY MISTAKE! If these idiots in so called 'intelligence' are giving away nuclear blueprints to Iran then it seems a little pointless to try to now prtevent them from arming themselves. The idea of nuclear weapons as a deterrant is just ridiculous. The fact that a country has nuclear weapons makes it a potential threat and therefore a target. If a country does not have nuclear weapons there would be no point in destroying it completely. 'Ahhh but what about Japan 1945?' I hear you ask - Its a different world now, we have much more of an idea as to the destructive capabilities of nuclear weapons. They are no longer a secret superweapon capable of ending a prolonged bloody conflict with a fanatical enemy as they were in 45.
