Uh. I think Linton Brooks was right, although a *bit* understated.
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, this IS bad for U.S. anti-proliferation (read: peace) diplomacy. Flaggot, no, Iran and other less desirable countries don't give a crap. Does that mean that if there's an international law against murdering other people, and I murder someone in another country, they should throw the murder laws out the window because I didn't follow the rule? People break laws everyday. If we followed the logic being displayed here, there would be nolaws.
Just because the bad guys don't follow the laws doesn't mean the good ones shouldn't. Why do you think Russia is so pissed over the ABM treaty? They're thinking "Hey! you wanted this, we agreed to it, the Cold War is over, and now you're leavin' us hanging!?"
It's about setting an example. That should be obvious. We are the good guys, along with Britain and others. It's also why we follow the Geneva conventions even when the enemy doesn't. Because we are good. Disregarding internationally agreed-to anti-proliferation laws is a way of admitting that the enemy has won in some way...it's playing their game.
