    Every day I think it would be so much simpler just to let Iran have nukes and stop the sanctions. Letting everyone have nukes would solve so many issues.

      Until some crackpot wants to wipe out a country. Bin Laden only had a few planes. Imagine he could have stocked each of them with a nuke.

        I think that's the point of MAD. Bin Laden and his whole country would have been deleted off the face of the earth by everyone else's nukes if they tried shit like that.

          I think MAD only works for the super-powers that have too much to lose.
