How about leading by example? How hypocritical is it to say we can have nuclear bombs while you cannot. I'm not old enough to remember, admittedly, but I do remember that Nagasaki and Hiroshima mean something. How many nuclear bombs do America have? How many do they need to cause worldwide destruction? If 2 countries in my proximity had been reduced to rubble, I'd want nuclear bombs, too, if the people committing the atrocities had nuclear bombs, and were threatening to use them. Jingoism? Dependency theory? Colonialism? Or just plain old terrorism?
