Why is nuclear proliferation difficult to deter? Because that's where the money is. Pakistan, our 'ally' in the war against terror, spent decades spreading nuclear technology and expertise for money. And who were the beneficiaries of these deals? Well, if you picked the usual suspects (China, North Korea, Iran, and Libya), you would be right. You couldn't swing a dead jihadi around without hitting someone from one of these countries involved in rubbing the lamp containing the nuclear genie. Thanks to A.Q. Kahn, we will be dealing with the second and third order effects of this proliferation for years to come. If a portion of the United States goes up in nuclear fire, he will most likely have our blood on his hands.
