I really do know y (To stay the strongest, and every other country weaker) but I wanna have ur opinions. (And PLZ don't mention Iran or Korea in ur answer, I'm talking about the US)

what about Korea & Russia? what makes the US goverment think it has the right to go into other countries and dictate how the country should be run. I thought the US was about democrocy and freedom of speech etc,but when it comes to other countries they seem to invade and dictate how the US wants it run, isn't that communisim

North Korea is a viable and potential aggressor. Under Kim's leadership, the government remains hostile and very anti-US. Some believe it is a device to attract attention and generous support from countries to just stand-down. They issued booklets warning citizens to prepare for a US invasion so is it a bluff? With missiles capable of reaching America and every major city in China, Japan and other areas it would seem to be a major gamble to doubt them and not be prepared. I do think that the US over-reacts in some places and sees shadows that don't exist but we shan't have the luxury of Paul Revere riding about to tell us the North Koreans are coming. It is a matter of minutes before your hometown might vanish. Is that so paranoid?

The United States "liberates" a country and then sets up a permamnent base there. We have bases all over the world idk of another government that does this.

The Ultimate War... However, one cannot assume that just because a country has a nuclear warhead they will use it... They haven't yet. America was the developer of the nuclear bomb, and we are also the only ones to have used it in a war (i.e. WWII). And we used it twice... Cuba is screaming at us, "Listen to me! We have nukes!" But they won't do shit with them. Russia, the Cold War, this Long War... All just government propaganda to get you to go along with gas prices and avian bird flu. Pride is not about nationality, it's about being a human being and being alive, for that matter... Just because your country says that you have a nuclear bomb doesn't mean they're going to use it... Just save it for a rainy day, I suppose. Just so that when everybody is dropping the bomb, that one little country (we'll call it Kerplakistan) can join in and not feel left out. If every country had a nuclear weapon, though, America would be bombed first, and we have more nukes than there are countries in the world! In conclusion, it may bring world peace, world destruction, or a wholly new world order.

It's about time the government practice what they preach. If they tell others they are not allowed Nuclear weapons then they should do the same. The U.K should set an example to the rest of the Nuclear powers by being the first to completely dis-arm.

Man, tell me honestly, do you really want Iran to have nuclear weapons. Forget your equality crap and think logically, do you really want Iran, who wants to kill you, to aquire nuclear weaponery??\nAlso, I think you're a bit misinformed since Pakistan has had a nuclear weapon program since the '70s, claimed they had the technology in the early '80s, and it's main supplier was China, NOT the US.

Get your head out of the sand,dummy!  The US is not interested in any other country except those that mean harm to it or it's allies who the US has an obligation to protect.  If you mean other countries like Iran, N.Korea, Syria, Venezuela, I would be glad to explain each scenario, but I won't because you simply will not understand or will refuse to listen.\n\nSo, stay stuck on stupid and if you would like a better explanation, please re- phrase your question in a manner that makes it more palatable.

The UN has always been a joke.  Recent US actions didnt change that they just pointed out what we all already knew.  I am visiting Bosnia and all the places that were designated UN safe zones where everybody got murdered because they were foolish enough to trust the UN.  Until the UN actually shows it is competant enough to do something (anything) the US and other countries like Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia will just keep doing whatever they want whether you agree with these actions is another question.

No more countries should be able to join the nuclear club - that is unfair, but necessary and everyone seems to agree with this.  So this situation needs wonderful foreign policy, understanding, and skill to resolve peacefully.  Unfortunately, we do not have a real statesman in the White House right now and it is going to hurt us.  The Bush administration only knows how to throw rocks at things to see if they respond.  They know no other approach and cannot fathom how governments existed without militaries and force.

Of course there is no ight or wrong answer to this question, but I don't think that evaluation is right. Particularly in this nuclear imbalanced world created by NNPT, a country like USA that holds atomic weapons can easily defeat another country that does not have nuclear weapons (though I can't think of any country militarily strong enough that USA won't attack without nuclear weapons yet has no nuclear weapon itself). The presence of nuclear weapons can also radically affect the course of war between two nuclear countries. For example, France is militarily weaker than USA but USA may well think twice before attacking France because just before falling a desparate government may well decide to fire off those warheads.

America has the best interests of the world in it mind. I don't know if you know this, but Iran it what's called a theocracy, where the most zealous religious leader is also the country's governmental head. This may not seem that bad, and in many cases it isn't, but given the radical sects of Islam that hold power in that country, and given their goals to eradicate America and the infidels, I can't see how anyone would support giving them the capability to conduct nuclear warfare.\n\nEDIT: Also, remember this: "Caps Lock is the cruise control to cool!"

Let me guess, you are Russian? \n\nYes, Russia has a lot of nukes. Since the demise of the USSR, the US has gained the advantage of knowing where a lot of them are. Ironically, as part of nuclear reduction agreements, the US actually PAYS Russia to destroy the agreed nuclear weapons. The operations are constantly overseen by US reps. I know this because I met two of these representatives in Votkinsk Russia. They were there monitoring a factory that was dismantling Nukes. As part of the reductions agreements, Russia can also monitor the US, but I guarantee they aren't paying us for it. \n\nSo which country has the best weapons? I would say that the US has more sophisticated weapons than just plan ol ballistic missiles. Nukes are good if want to blow up entire cities--but that isn't a very feasible idea these days. It just doesn't go over very well politically. \n\nSo all in all, yes, Russia has the nukes. But ever since the end of the cold war, the US has continued spending billion and billions on defense while Russia has really let off on their emphasis on nukes and and other weaponry. Yes, they are still developing and creating new weapons, but just not at the rate of the US.

The Armageddon is the one that holds the nuke. America is one of them, and we are the only Nation to use the weapon. What makes you think it hasn't already started when America nuked Japan? There is a 1000 years of suffering afterward. I think it happened back then myself. Nobody knows if we are supposed to live in a Garden of Eden, or struggle with wars and Capitalism. Think about it and read what is said in Mathew from Jesus.

I am thinking that we should stop being racist and arrogant.\nI am also thinking that we are not in charge of the universe.\nI am also thinking that if we have the right to have nuclear arms so should they.\n\nAfter all, we are not better than anyone else.\nAfter all, Iran is far less dangerous than the US ehich already has its own nuclear weapons.\n\nIn the last 50 years Iran has attacked exactly zero countries. In fact, through US enccouragement it was attacked by our former clients, the Iraqis.\nThe US has attacked Iraq, Vietnam, Guatemala, Grenada, Korea, El Salvador, Cuba, Panama, Egypt, and the list goes on.\n\nMaybe we should get rid of our own nuclear weapons before we ask others to do. We dont want to be hypocrites, right?\n\nBy the way, Iranians have never claimed or said they are developing nuclear weapons. Only the US has made this claim. And I sure beleive what W and Cheney say, right? ;-)

It is  a catch 22 situation. If you don't sell arms to others, where does your arms industry go? And if you do, there is a real danger of them ending up being used against you. For example, Pakistan has provided nuclear techonology to North Korea. Now, that it is available, it can easily fall in the hands of terrorists who can use it to make dirty bombs that will make 9/11 look like a school picnic.

Do they have the right? \nThe nuclear weapons is a danger to the wealth of this world.(It is said that they can destroy the world inumerous times) But, more and more, we see an increasing trend of evil politicians in USA allowing it to be constructed at an ever increasing rate. Do they have the right to threat the world just because it lies mainly within their border? They are proving to be incapable, but the rest of the world seems powerless to stop the destruction their greed is causing! Can we trust the political will of the USA people to clean up their government and start to protect what many feel belongs to us all (the world)?
