There is no innocence; there are only different degrees of guilt!
Seriously, though, the main issue is that it is not in our best interests to let them have certain weapons. If we have good reasons to believe they are planning to make those weapons, and use them against us (perhaps through unofficial, terrorist groups), any required action to stop that would be OK for me. Or, to clarify, if there's going to be a mass murder anyway, I'd prefer casualties there over casualties here. In practice, however, exterminating the whole country shouldn't be required.
