And nobody gave a shit about the proliferation of nuclear weapons until the enemies of the US, Britain, France, Russian, Israel, and China got them.

I mean, c'mon. It doesn't matter WHO blows off a nuke. A nuke, is a nuke, is a nuke.

We developed them, we sold the technology to the highest first world bidders, and then looked the other way as the technology proliferated to places like Pakistan and India, because allowing the proliferation to happen also allows the military industrialists to make even MORE money building 'defensive' weapons (like Star Wars) they will claim will protect us from nukes, which won't do any such thing.

I mean, there IS a very good reason why one the first things Bush did after taking office, was announce the US' unilateral abrogation of every fucking nuclear treaty we ever signed.

Or did you forget about that Republican sponsored state terrorism as conveniently as you forgot about the fact that we didn't give a shit about Saddam gassing people when it was the Iranians, and he was "our bastard" in the region.
