Technology has changed things. If you wait, you get slaughtered.
Do you want us to wait for Kim Jong Il to nuke a South Korean city?
Should Israel wait until Iran nukes Tel Aviv?

The nature of warfare has changed - in a big way in the past five to ten years. In the future wars will no longer be country against country or govenment against govenment. Now instead we have groups of people with no government running their own armies.
I don't believe in the "if you wait you get slaughted" idea.
Kim Jong will never launch a nuke in SK. Depending on the size of the bomb, the first problem would be fallout. The second issue would be the follow up strike, most likely coming from the United States. It would destroy them.
Same with Iran. Imagine a nuke going off in Israel. Even if no one can point a finger directly at Iran, the follow up strikes would be quick and huge.
No matter what the US would strike back. We have boomer subs sitting off the coast waiting to press the damn button. It doesn't matter if a country is behind it or not; Once the first bomb goes off others will follow.
Russia knew this. They could destroy the US ten times over yet we would still be able to strike back.
