"The United States is spurring a new global arms race with our own development of a new generation of nuclear weapons" US Rep Ellen Tauscher
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill speaking about Ms.Rices "outpost of tyranny" jibes
He expressed frustration with North Korea's seeming focus on "small issues," such as the occasional pejorative comments in Washington, when it should give top priority to resolving the "monumental" issue of nuclear weapons development.

Here's the clincher. America developed it's own nuclear weapons technology. It paid the price in social disorder and in the guilt of the scientists who developed it.

America has had nuclear weapons for over 50 years and have not used a single one in combat. We know the cost. We've paid it again and again. Iran has not paid any of the social cost, will not show their people the devastation and suffering still happening in Japan. Iran will use the weapon they get, at the slightest provocation by Israel or America. They won't wait for a 9/11 style attack, a single airliner downed intentionally or accidentally will be enough. Iran has reacted this way in the past, there is no logical reason to assume otherwise.

We created the Bomb, and wish to hell we could stuff the genie back into the bottle. You want to rub the bottle and let more genies out. let them deal with the guilt of warriors and the pictures of flash-burned children for decades being shown again and again, before they dare to create a warhead from technologies they bought with money from oil sold to nations they condemn.
