This is the problem. There is no room for mistakes here. If they get a nuke, they'll use it. And worse, it's not like they'll be launching a missile that will lead directly back to them. One day we'll wake up and learn that a nuclear bomb has gone off in Israel, or someplace in the US, delivered by hand by terrorists. (The LA airport seems to be one of their favorite targets.)
I don't care if it's right or wrong on our part. I'd rather be wrong now and then be wrong three years from now with all of southern California or NYC is a nuclear waste land.
