>>And why is it that Canada, US, UK and several other countries are free to build whatever nuclear reactors for electrical generation purposes as they please, yet other countries must be prevented from doing the same? I think it's a fair bet that the US, UK, France, Russia, Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea, South Africa(?) all use their reactors' by-products to make nuclear weapons.

>The difference, as you WELL KNOW, is that none of the above mentioned countries, publicly announced that their goal is to wipe another country off the face of the world.

Has North Korea ever stated that?... Not that I'm aware of.

In other words, the "selectivity" of which country is OK and which is not is up to who?
It would seem reasonable that those countries wanting to deprive others of nuclear reactors for fear of making bombs ought themselves to be working at eliminating their own nuclear bombs.
We know that will never happen. There's just something wrong with the whole picture as things are now.
