I don't think the one have to be a rocket scientist to see the point.

I don't see your point at all.
Pakistan has the bomb. So does India. Still hasn't settled the Kashmir issue.
China has the bomb. Has it changed how we deal with China at all?
North Korea might have the bomb? Has anything changed on the Korean peninsula in the past fifty years? Nope.
If Libya and Syria had the bomb, would it have changed how we dealt with them? Not really, because we really haven't dealt with them at all. If they had nukes would have it changed anything? Would Gaddafi still be in power? No, because it was his own citizens that removed him. Syria? They've been a civil war for what, two years now? Unless he plans on nuking his own country, nothing would have changed.
Then you mention Afghanistan. Assuming 9/11 still took place, what would have changed? The US would have still invaded. We invaded with small forces, too small for Afghanistan to fire off nukes (are they going to launch a nuke against 200 troops on their own land?). Afghanistan couldn't / wouldn't lunch nukes on the US because the US would have nuked the shit out of Afghanistan.
So nothing has changed at all. Fucking North Korea has the bomb, threatens South Korea and the US every day and.... Nothing at all has changed with the way we handle North Korea at all.
