The major problem with the idea is that the US is batting zero on pre-emptive strikes on WMD, so I'd want to see some more robust analysis before anyone hit the red button.

Cam, I seem to remember that the Kiwi's refused to allow any American ship that even could be carrying any nuke devices to dock in their port.
NOW you want to have the use of one or more of these same devices to save your rear ends? Thats awful cheeky my friend!
The US will probably save your (New Zealand's) bacon if it comes down to that but in the future it would help to realize that the rest of the world is not a friendly place at times and that there are times that a nuke can be your new best friend!
