The issue isn't which countries have governments that are too unstable to have nukes. The problem is the odds of some crazy using them goes up with the number of governments which have this weapon. We are at far greater risk today then when we were in the cold war.
That being said Iran has to be stopped. Although North Korea seems to be using this technology as a show of power and a deterrent against perceived threats, Iran seems at least in its rhetoric seems to be more likely to use a weapon.

I agree with a lot of what you have to say....but I am not ready to jump on the "Iran is more dangerous than NK" wagon yet. I think NK is far more dangerous than Iran at the moment. Until quite recently there was a large liberal movement in Iran. If we go in there guns a blazing all of that will be for not. I think Iran has much more to lose than NK as far as world sanctions go and there is atleast a chance to get Iran onboard...very little tho.
