The gangster state of North Korea became a nuclear power in 2006-2007, despite lots of foreign aid aimed at precluding just such proliferation -- help usually not otherwise accorded such a loony dictatorship. Apparently the civilized world rightly suspected that if nuclear, Pyongyang would either export nuclear material and expertise to other unstable countries, or bully its successful but non-nuclear neighbors -- or both.
The United States has given billions of dollars in foreign aid to Pakistan, whose Islamist gangs have spearheaded radical anti-American terrorism. Since a corrupt Pakistan went nuclear in 1998, it has been able to extort such foreign payouts -- on fears that one of its nukes might end up in the hands of terrorists.

An observant Iran appreciates three laws of current nuclear gangbanging.

We should have stolen Pak’s nukes, killed their scientists and experts and destroyed their capability to manufacture nukes. They’re not our friends or allies and never have been.
That Obama is letting Iran gain nukes should be what the Senate GOP talks about all day everyday. Do commercials showing the 9/11 attacks and then show a nuke over NY. I mean who’s thinking in DC?

Well probably (with few exceptions) no one unless it about themselves.
Meanwhile the streeters keep saying there is no threat and we should cut defense spending....
After 911 we should have given India the green light to nuke Pakistan.
You're right it's crazy that idiots in DC are taking this so lightly...
That might have solved as many problems as it caused. A good tradeoff?
Clearly Defense spending is too much. We’re making generals rich in retirement. It isn’t clear to me that we need all the spending we do.
Bingo. Why should we expect a disinterested third party to care about me more than they care about themselves?
Actors including the author seem to think they know what Iran will and won't do with nuclear weapons if/when they get them built.
The mullahs are crazier than a mound of termites. There's no telling what they'll do, and if you actually do figure it out, they might go to Plan C just to spite you and make you a liar.
