Not to complicate the issue, but a number of arms control experts have

Every benefit comes with a hidden horror show.

Just shows you what pussies the so-called "arms control experts are."

Even I can think of a way to deal with "rogue states."

The whole attempt to link nuclear power and nuclear weapons is just a
scam from the paranoid and ignorant anti nuke groups. Nuclear power and
nuclear weapons have almost nothing to do with each other besides
"nuclear" in the name. Nonsense kind of like trying to link Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (a.k.a. MRI) and nuclear weapons.


Wrong. All experts on the subject agree that civilian nuclear projects are a
potential source of dangerous material for the wrong kinds of people. The
issue becomes one of trust, and we know how far that goes. Physically
building the bomb itself isn't very complicated.

I'm not saying we should eliminate nuclear power generation, but if you
believe it's a good idea, then logically, you forfeit the right to act
surprised or annoyed when countries like Iran start rattling their swords.
