Iraq just today unveiled it's biggest unmanned drone ever. Able to reach Israel easily. 1,300 mile range, they say.
They haven't yet announced how the drone - equipped with missiles, is going to be useful in "medical research and treatments", like their nuclear material is.
Do you really believe that the Israeli's won't be attacking Iran if the negotiating fails? Of course, Iran has to be expecting that. They saw what the Israeli's did to the Syrian nuclear facility, year ago, and to the Syrian missiles going to Hamas, just recently.
Your argument is based on emotions, and after the stupid involvement in Vietnam, that's understandable. We tried the "let's not get involved, or be prepared" route in the past however, and it has never worked out well for us, over the long term.
Walking softly and carrying a teddy bear, will not deter many bad guys.
Perhaps a policy of letting every country have nuclear enrichment facilities dug into mountains, and drones and missiles able to deliver them, is a good idea, but it will be hell to get a restful nights sleep. In the long run, it's very likely to result in a nuclear war.
