Cake or Death?
Hmmm.... does the death come with chocolate on the side?
Seriously, more dictatorial states with nuclear weapons in the middle east aren't going to lead to more happiness, fairness, or understanding... any more than arming crips and bloods in South Central. Unless you believe that earlier nuclear annihilation is preferable for humanity, it is objectively bad.
One might as well argue that importing cocaine to create the crack epidemic and fund the Contras was morally neutral.

The idea that Israel should be disarmed of its nukes is a nonstarter in Washington. This conflict has nothing to do with "happiness, fairness, or understanding" and everything to do with Washington's and Tel Aviv's power over the region.
