    Jessie,
    I think the nuclear issue can sometimes be a bit over stated. Sure it's a massive step for a rogue state to be nuclear capable, but it's also not the end of the world. Chemical weapons can be just as lethal but seem to stay under the radar somewhat.
    The radiation levels from Fukushima were equivalent to 14,000 Hiroshima's, the result is that nuclear power generation planning world wide is on the increase. Nuclear capability for middle eastern countries is inevitable, so having limitations and restrictions on those capabilities seems the most logical way forward.

    On a side thought...one senses the middle east is evolving rapidly with the blessing of the west. I don't believe for a nano second that Isis could achieve a fraction of what it has with a few beat up utes and RPG's. The west could have wiped these clowns out in a few days if they chose to with their air power in open territory. Something is going on, and perhaps Iran is part of the plan.
