Intelligence gathering often prevents wars...it gives you reassurances about what the other side is doing, or is not doing.

Or we could just let those guys build a bomb unhindered... and then give it to al queda. You think you're fed up with war now, wait until tel aviv or NYC or DC vanishes in a flash of light.
