How would it be likely to get into the hands of someone who would use it against the US? How can you prevent this nuke coming from this place and getting into the hands of these people? I think what you would end up with is a list of countries that you could call hmm... an "axis of evil" we'll say and plans for dealing with each one.

Before Sept. 11th, no American would have believed it would be possible to hijack 4 planes and coordinate such an attack. As far fetched as a suitcase bomb or some form of Bio terrorist attack WILL happen at some point.
I agree, being proactive about it makes us look like assholes, but we might just be saving our own asses. Too bad you can't prove a negative.
