We don't mind England having them. Its just the rest of the world that we have concluded is unstable. Why? Because they may use them on us.

You're generalizing - everyone doesn't want to destroy everything.  There's a great deal of destroyers out there though & it's sad.  Those few cause lots of trouble for the rest of us.

Actually, it's because some other countries are since long interested in the United States' affairs/matters. \nThe difference is that United States has the power to use unchallenged and unchallengeable military means, whilst those other countries, since they cannot compete on this ground for the aforesaid reasons, use instead tricks ranging from remote controlled terrorism, agit-prop (as you are doing  right now, consciously or not), disinformation, black propaganda, influence and lobby-ism, and economic warfare; all things that are much less spectacular than armed conflicts and hard to prove in most cases. As a result United States strikes back openly against underground operations.\nI guess the shortest way to resume the strategy of the U.S. enemies can be resumed into a simple phrase coined during the end of the Soviet era by a Soviet top strategist named Georgi Arbatov: "We are going to do something terrible against you; you'll no longer have any enemy."

I feel they have every right to self defense just as any other country in the world.  Remember, the US isn't one to police the world in terms of nukes.  The US is the only country that has ever used it as a weapon in war time. No other country has.  The US is just another landmass on the map.  If one country can have mass killing weapons, then everyone else has the right to defend themselves as well.

We have more WMD's than you, so if you try to defy us, you go BOOM. \n\nThat sounds stupid because of the way I phrased it, but it's true. We own the world with fear (which is known as TERRORISM). Russia has almost as many WMD's as we do though, so we're unable to push them around. Same with North Korea, since they have an alliance with North Korea. Thus, situations such as the 'Cold War' (I'm sure you've heard of it) arise.\n\nBut that doesn't stop the foreign policy makers in the US. Ohhhh no...the threat of nuclear holocaust never stopped us....*shakes head*

Or they use them against us, which they already SAID they would. But hey just because a country that harbors terrorists, and pretty much wants to see all Americans DIE a horrible painful death, and IS going to get nuclear weapons and DID say they WILL use them again us, our citizens, and our allies, does not mean we should stop them. I mean come on, let's let them kill a few million peoiple first, THEN maybe we will let NATO try some political sanctions for a few years.

i would think its neither, if you have never heard this excuse: the american army needs to use there armament so people dont start saying that its just lying around useless. and they want to destroy some of it so they can explain why they got new better and more expencive ones.

Japan and Germany have a standing Army, Air Force, and Navy.\n\nThe idea is, if you can defend yourself, people are more willing to negotiate.\n\nIn EVERY CASE, where people laid down weapons, there was a massacre.  EVERY CASE.  \n\nYou may have a pure heart, but your enemies must also.

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.

In the sense of superpowers of the cold war period, the United States is the only Superpower left.\n\nOf those countries with nuclear weapons few have the delivery capability to get something to our shores and fewer yet could actually hurt our country.  The fact is, the United States has the capability to eliminate all of those countries.  Most importantly the United States has demonstrated restraint in the use of its power.  Lastly, other than the lunatic fringe (such as the terrorists) it is not in the interest of any other country to attack the United States.

as a matter of fact, the US indeed have arsenals for nuclear bombs. The US Gov't has to maintain nuclear bombs, simply because, it wanted to stay as the world's most powerful and influential nation.

A better question would be to ask why the government of the United States sends the US military into other countries in peacekeeping roles (Bosnia, for example) while the countries in the area - who's own best interests would be served by not having their neighbor self-destruct - do nothing.

This last guy just typed out a lot of bullshit. I am pissed at myself for even reading all of that crap. And espike is wrong about the no-first use. The US not only maintains that it may use it first but it also maintains that it may use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state.\n\n1. The United States is one of the five "nuclear weapons states" permitted to maintain a nuclear arsenal under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, of which it was an original signatory on July 1, 1968 (ratified March 5, 1970). Although the The 5 NWS parties have made undertakings not to use their nuclear weapons against a non-NWS party, the United States, for instance, has indicated that it may use nuclear weapons in response to a non-conventional attack by "rogue states". \n\n\n2. The U.S. cancelled its offensive biological weapons program by executive order in November 1969 and February 1970 and ordered the destruction of all offensive biological weapons by February 1973. The U.S. ratified the Geneva Protocol on January 22, 1975. In March 1975, the U.S. ratified the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). \n\n\n3. In May 1991 President George H.W. Bush unilaterally committed the United States to destroying all chemical weapons and to renounce the right to chemical weapon retaliation. \nThe U.S. Congress has since passed legislation requiring the destruction of the entire stockpile by December 31, 2004. Official U.S. policy is to support the Chemical Weapons Convention as a means to achieve a global ban on this class of weapons and to halt their proliferation. \n\nOh and the arabs, they had palaces and cities and knew how to read, write, trade, build ships etc. while Europe and America were barbarians and were still living in caves. The arabs gave the west the modern number system and they also carried the concept of zero from India to the west. What Europe and America boasts of today started with what they got from the arabs. But with their religious fanaticism their progress stalled and they fell behind. America is powerful and advanced today but it too is witnessing a religious fundamentalist movement. And if it continues on this path then the only thing separating America from its dark days is time.\nCivilizations rise and fall.

If America is so ignorant of world politics, then why are we the only remaining superpower?  Where does that put your third-world, a$$-backward abortion of a country on the scale of things?\n  \nAnd here's a news flash for you:  The U.S. has ALWAYS been criticized, especially by those ungrateful countries that seem to conveniently forget how much the U.S. has done for them.\n\nWe spend several billion dollars a year propping countries like yours back up when disasters such as earthquakes and floods strike your pathetically underdeveloped countries.  It's funny,... I've never seen footage of disaster victims in foreign countries screaming for the Americans to leave their country...\n\nThe truth is this:  The only thing ignorant about American world politics is that we keep dragging your asses out of disasters that would certainly kill a great many more of you if we just had the cold, hard common sense to leave you alone, AS YOU SAY YOU WISH TO BE!...\n\nNow,... shut up and go make me a Slurpee!

I feel America does not want to control territory as such.It only wants to maintain its supremacy and balance of world power.Controlling new territories is not good for the USA instead it is troublesome for them to hold on to foreign countries.
