I really wish I had transcripts of some of the arguments I got in before the Iraq War on the subject.

"I can't wait till they find those weapons and prove you #$&^%ing hippies wrong!!!".

Still waiting.

The thing is, if I were the leader of a "Rogue State" the lesson I'd take from the Iraq War is that if Saddam had managed to stash a few warheads, or even a good few clouds of poison gas, the few hundred thousand troops parked right over the border in Kuwait might have hit a few more bumps in the road.

And the thing is, Iran and North Korea do have reactors, which could breed weaponized materials. Iraq didn't, and neither did Afghanistan. Then again, Iran and North Korea have Air Forces, too, something else neither had.

We have no idea what the world map will look like in a few decades, but we know some rough times are coming. What if a nuke-equipped post-Tar Sands Alberta separates and becomes a Christian Fundamentalist State? Spreading around "build your own nukes" kits just isn't responsible.
