You imply that we should permit countries that call for our destruction--mostly as a means of getting their populace to forget their own suffering--to acquire offensive nuclear capabilities. I'm sure if we just ignore them, they won't do anything bad to us. Better yet, we could try to negotiate. It's always good to make promises and send money to parties that have no intention of living up to any agreements they make.

Well put but you can't help stupid.
