By all means, get the bomb. This one's a no-brainer -- just ask the Dear Leader in Pyongyang. In the history of the nuclear age, no country that has possessed nuclear weapons has ever been successfully invaded. After all, nothing deters outside meddling more than an assured retaliatory nuclear strike.
This was another major Qaddafi blunder: In 2003 and 2004, Libya renounced its nuclear weapons programs, on which it had spent around $200 million, and handed thousands of uranium enrichment centrifuges and nuclear weapons blueprints to the United States. Qaddafi's daughter, Aisha, promised that the lesson to take from Western powers bombing Libya today is that "every country that has weapons of mass destruction [should] keep them or make more so they will not meet the same fate as Libya." You can be sure that Tehran has heard that lesson loud and clear.
