Get real. When does the United States threaten countries with its nukes? Did we nuke Iraq to get rid of Saddam? did we nuke Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban? The only country threatening with weapons of mass destruction is Muslim Iran, whose president repeatedly campaigns to "wipe the Zionist entity" (Israel) off the map. Anyone who would knowingly allow an evil, repressive, fanatical regime that threatens genocide against another country to gain access to nuclear weapons is either monumentally stupid or completely insane. You really do need to take a peek at reality once in awhile. It's refreshing and informative, trust me.
