Not to me. Seems to me that it's your problem - if you want it. I don't want it and I don't want my country to want it. Why would we ever want to waste time, treasure, and talent putzing around with you guys anymore. It's no problem for us - it's your backyard, you deal with it. I feel as safe with a nuclear armed Iran and N. Korea as I did with a nuclear armed Soviet Union. MAD kept the USSR in line and it will keep Iran and N. Korea in line. The only problem is getting our troops back. We're starting to pull them out of Europe, S. Korea should be next.
When we finally stop messing in other countries' business, then we'll have the resources to protect our country far better. At that time, the rest of the world can worry about how comfortable they feel with a nuclear Iran and N. Korea. I know they won't attack us. Or, if they do, it will be the last time they do anything and we can do colonization the easy way.
