#1 Either we begin finding creative, outside-the-box solutions or the international nuclear safeguards regime will become obsolete.

It is already obsolete. The Norks and Iran walk away from any controls and short of some kind of military action, there is nothing that we can do. That is a fact.

India, Pakistan, and Israel are not the problem, O recipient of the Dynamit Nobel prize. Israel and India are responsible nations. Pakistan probably has enough oversight from the US now to contain the damage that it has caused (Cat's out of the bag). The biggest problems facing nuclear proliferation are rogues like the NORKS and Iran. They CANNOT be allowed to have nukes. If the NORKS already have nukes, then they must realize that passing them on will have catastrophic consequences for the regime.

The real issue is how to deal with rogue states with nukes. Agreements made between entities are only as good as the honesty of the entities. Trust but verify. Rogues will not let you verify, witness Iran and Nork. All the agreements in the world will not protect you from liars, Mr. ElBaradei.
