Humanitarian Crisis in Iraq: Statements.

 

There are many similar rogue dictators in various jurisdictions across the world in which the populations are oppressed to the same or an even greater degree than the people of Iraq. One of my concerns about the conduct of the war is that it will encourage some of these dictators to develop nuclear weapons to protect themselves because they do not have sufficient might to do so by other means. We recently saw tensions between India and Pakistan, both of which possess nuclear weapons. The prevention of nuclear proliferation must take place on an international basis.
