Simply put, I think the ONLY way to accomplish nonproliferation is through the United Nations or something like it.

A unilateral policy of enforced nonproliferation will never work, unless "the people" want to go back to the arms races of the 50s - 70s. I doubt very seriously that countries like China or Russia would view the policy as anything other than an effort to increase American influence. Ultimately such a policy would cause large portions of the world to view the United States as the country that's "out of control." How many countries do you think we could attempt to "remake ... in our image" before we convince them that THEY are threatened?

We've already seen traditional friends of the United States (please note - friends aren't always lackeys) question the policy with regards to Iraq, and not all of those concerns are simply over commercial interests (o matter how often you repeat it amongst yourselves)

I suspect that you will see even the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" fall apart should there be an effort to take the war beyond Iraq into Syria or Iran (if it doesn't fall apart during the occupaton of Iraq). Syria's role in international terrorism has decreased significantly over the last ten or twelve years, and Iran is teetering on the brink of democracy. I doubt very seriously you could build a case that an attack on either country at this point would be in the national interests of the United States, let alone the world.
