in the hands of stateless terrorist organizations however, nukes become an asymmetrical threat-- deterrence (mutually assured destruction) no longer applies and all bets are off.

sounds like US pro-nuclear weaponry propaganda... the reality is that if eye for an eye leaves us all blind, then poking out eyes is wrong. possessing nukes is wrong for anyone, and their very creation was the problem, not controling their distribution. nuclear weapons anywhere are a threat to human beings everywhere, regardless of who possesses them.
