No I understand what you are saying.

However in 2nd and 3d world states as those are, smaller groups can operate as conspiracies under the radar, and may have the support of some individuals in the state but not necessarily are 'the state'. Pakistan might another example of that. I do not deny that Saddam could have well given behind the scenes tactical and logistic support for the 9-11 killers.

In the future these nations will not be able to use that excuse as easily because we have put the world on notice.

Agree?

Yes. Just like in Saudi a while back when a group of foreign nationals were kidnapped. Apparently, the terrorists used police cars and some police personnel may have been involved. I think these kinds of arrangements are common in the ME and other parts of the world. Which is why I think al-Qaeda may have picked up some small nukes from Russian sources. Many in the Russian gov are unrepentant Commies or Russian nationalists and despise bitterly the United States in particular and the West in general. The Russian intell services are filled with such people and many of these have ties to Russian organized crime. These criminals have further ties to the Chechen mafia which has ties to ME terror groups. Given all the heroin these groups control and a glut of cash, I see no good reason not to believe nuclear devices have not already changed hands. I think my analysis here is sound, even if based on speculation.
