1. i can't blame other countries for wanting to be able to protect themselves.

we have nuclear weapons and so do many countries. so if iran or North Korea want to have them, who the hell are we to go around telling everyone else what to do!!! plus, when on the Today show this morning they were talking about the violation of international law... all i could think was.... well, we violate international law. we tortured people, which is a violation of international law. how is it ok when we do it, but not others. we have no moral standing in any situation regarding international laws as far as i am concerned. at least until we hold accountable anyone in our OWN country who has violated them before accusing anyone else.
