They sit on some of the highest-quality oil in the world. What were they going to use a nuclear plant for?

For thier own energy needs while they sell the high quality oil.

These are not problems that Americans have had to think about. But they aren't problems that are just going to go away if we ignore them.

Who said anything about ignoring problems. But starting unconstitutional wars against countries that pose no threat to America (Iraq poses no threat to America) isn't in the defense of America which is the only valid use of our military.
Being military non-interventionists isn't being isolationist and it's not ignoring problems.

And if the bombs proliferate there will be no one not at constant risk.

Neither America, nor the U.N. has the legal or moral authority to tell any nation what weapons they may or may not have. America doesn't choose who can have nukes. And if Iraq had nukes they'd probably just have them to ensure they're not the victims of unwarranted attacks such as those in 1991. They'd use them to make sure our planes stopped making illegal "no fly" zones, and to get our troops out of thier country. They'd use the principle of mutually assured destruction to get the respect thier sovereign nation deserves.
