In the Manichean world view that's so prevalent in this country, it's assumed that countries like Iran and Syria are simply evil and they will <em>always</em> try to find ways of killing off all of the <em>good</em> people like us. But this is a completely false interpretation. These countries see their weapons programs as a means of protection against aggressive, imperialistic countires like ours. Or do you really think Syria plans to take on western civilization?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('46','Paul Wilden'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('46','Paul Wilden','What I\'m suggesting is that we stop pursuing policies that encourage other countries to develop nuclear weapons.
