While I understand not wanting countries like North Korea and Iran having nukes, it does protect them from invasion. We've seen what happened after Ukraine gave up their nukes. Less we forget, the Neocons of the Bush era wanted to remake the entire Middle East, not just Iraq and Afghanistan.

> nukes ... protect them from invasion

Israel has nukes and Hamas still invaded them.

Perhaps nukes protect you from invasion by rational actors, but I don't think they work on zealots.

		And yet Israel does not denuclearize. I certainly hope Iran's adversaries are rational actors.

Nukes alone do not prevent invasions.

You need to have delivery mechanisms like medium/long range ballistic missiles and second strike capabilities like SLCMs.

Iran has been amply demonstrating their missile capabilities on the city of Tel Aviv for the past week.

		It seems like we're already seeing people here attempt to manufacture consent for a war with Iran. Frankly you're not going to have a very strong chance of convincing me given Israel's actions over the past few years.

		Disarm Israel. And bomb it too if it will resist.
