In effect I believe taking a "wait till he does something else wrong with them" is irresponsible and immoral. What would the public response be say if he sold a nuclear weapon to a terrorist and they used it in London, Paris or Jeruselem? Those targets are much easier to hit and far closer than US cities.
Great point! One I've wondered myself! Doesn't seem logical to me. But then, I'm just a dumb old redneck from Tennessee.

The only point that I can see is that the Left hates and fears war in itself, and really believes that one can never be justified.

Yep. That, and the silly notion that you can end war by either talking it to death, or signing a treaty about it. FEH! No war, in recorded history, has ever been successfully stopped by a treaty, unless one side had already beaten the other. Treaties can be *forced* on the loser by the winner, and can be *enforced* by said winner. But the treaty, in an of itself, is nothing more than a piece of paper.
