I would say its meant to give you the creeps.
Its so convenient that "axis of evil" countries are doing all these horrible things to give us reasons to take action against them.
I dont buy into the whole thing. Our sentiments are being manipulated in order to further some end the PTB have in mind, and whatever they are for, I am against on principle.

I think the USA within the next 2-3 years(at least)if not earlier,will be at war with both PDRK and Iran. I think Nuclear War will start with that,since I think it's a great possibility that Russia and China would join in.

I'd love to see India kick Pakistan's ass and maybe occupy them. I think a war between India and Pakistan would definately go Nuclear.
Iran's president says Tehran rejects nuclear weapons, as both immoral and impractical tools that powers build, stockpile and use to threaten others.
"The age of the nuclear bomb, the worst and ugliest weapon known to man is over. We reject atomic weapons both in moral and practical terms," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a press conference in New York on Tuesday afternoon.
"We believe those who build, store and use nuclear weapons to threaten others are committing the ugliest deed of all," he added.

I think Pakistan would be overwhelmed by India's population and would launch nukes to try to stem the tide.

Nuclear weapons are a weapon of last resort. I can very well see a Country who thinks They'll be overwhelmed and beaten deciding to use one to try to stay in power.
Ahmadinejad described Washington's decision to disclose the number of its nuclear warheads as a step forward, but asked the US administration whether it took pride in possessing such destructive power.
"Just two bombs created that atrocity in two Japanese cities. Now do you think it is a source of pride to own 5,000 new generation warheads with greater destructive potential?" he asked.
Ahmadinejad said US nuclear weapons were a global threat, especially to the people in countries where they are stored.
He also commented on remarks by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon about the need for Iran to" restore trust within the international community on the peaceful nature of its nuclear program."
Ahmadinejad said if the UN headquarters were in Tehran and Iran held veto powers at the Security Council, Ban would not have spoken as he did on Monday.
He pointed out that Iran's atomic activities were under the full supervision of the UN nuclear watchdog and said that it was not up to Iran to prove its innocence.
"The US government claims that Iran's nuclear work has diverted from the peaceful path. We ask, 'What evidence do you have to prove that,' and they say 'We have no proof, but we are sure that you have deviated, you prove otherwise.' How can we move forward with such logic," asked Ahmadinejad.
The Iranian president was in New York to take part in the UN nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) review conference.

The US would have lost One Million plus Soldiers if they would have invaded the Japanese Mainland in 1945,the loss of life was much less dropping the bombs.

Less civilians died in Japan with the bombs than what they would have lost following a US invasion.
