There is a great gathering storm here. Not since Adolf Hitler's rise to power have we seen it. Unfortunately many have forgotten the lessons learned by his rise.
Many are concerned about lives being lost for what they deem an unnessasary war.
What they really mean is they do not want western lives lost. I don't hear much by way of the lives lost in Darfur or Ruwanda before that.
Many will agree that I am not a great thinker. How ever here are my thoughts.
If we wait and talk to pre-nuclear nations we allow them the time to construct nuclear weapons. Those nations then become an existencial threat. All current nuclear powers have, if not explicitally, telegraphed plans to retaliate or pre-empt if they feel their existance is at risk.
From my point of view it is better to stop these pre-nuclear nations, the leaders of which are openly hostile to the 'west', from aquiring the weapons than to wait and have only one solution, the nuclear non-option.
