In his 2002-01-29 SOTU (State Of The Union) speech, Bush-43 pledged to annihilate the axis of evil — Iraq, Iran and North Korea. President Obama did not rescind the threat. In 2003 America invaded Iraq and in 2010 auctioned off all its oil resources to American and European oil companies. Iraq did not have any nukes to deter the invasion. The USA backed off invading North Korea because North Korea threatened a token nuclear retaliation. It is thus no surprise that Iran sought nukes too for deterring invasion. This proliferation is regrettable, but rational. Bush-43 still has not taken responsibility for his part in creating this unfortunate situation.
