I'm with Wayne on this. It would probably be best if no more nations joined the nuclear club, but at the same time is hypocritical of those who are part of it to refuse others.
The Bush regime is right about one thing, there is a new Middle East on the rise - but it's not what they say it is. The Middle East will be dominated by Iran. In many ways, it already is. Before the Iraq invasion I was laughed at for stating that Iran will be the only winner. This, btw, was one of the main reasons why I opposed the invasion (the other main reason was that it would act as the ultimate recruitment campaign and live training ground for the terrorists). In fact, I believe that both the US and Israel were better off with Saddam in power because he and Iran kept each other in check. The US once paid Saddam to fight Iran, now the US hands Iraq over to Iran on a silver platter. Could someone please explain the logic here?
I wonder how many people realize we're now closer to WW3 then we've ever been? Tensions are high everywhere, we have a large number of idiots in control of countries (many of which are members of the nuclear club) and we have a bunch of wild cards stirring up shit in the most unpredictable of ways (aka terrorists). Just one act of extreme stupidity and things could get really exciting really fast.
Smell the flowers while you can!
