We should give thanks for the work that was done to build them.

And then we should notice what's going to be required to sustain this.

Well, I mean, not into the club, but allowing them to get nuclear weapons, which is right.

The Israelis have had a different idea.

This goes back to the original attack on Iraq, Osirak.

I call it affirmative nonproliferation.

So they say, we're not allowing nuclear weapons in our neighborhood.

And they've destroyed the nuclear weapon project in Iraq.

They destroyed the nuclear weapon activity in Syria when the North Koreans were building a plant there half dozen years ago.

And now they've been the leaders in the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program, which we participated in.

I, however, I'm uncomfortable about the wars even in Iran.

I have to cheer for this because I fear additional nuclear weapon states.

And I wish that we had managed somehow, let's take the North Korean case.

I've even said this to Chinese officials.

I said, you know, we and you made a terrible mistake.

Maybe we made a bigger mistake to let North Korea get nuclear weapons.

But what we should have said to you is, hey, we have an idea.

Nuclear weapons are either good for North Korea and South Korea, or they're good for neither of them.

Your choice.

And that would have been hardball.
