Ummmm. No.
Your question presumes that there is some agency that even COULD "bar" the entire world from possessing WMDs. While Dubya may believe he is "Chief of the World Police", he is about a dime short of a bit, anyway.
Should there be world police? I personally think that governments purporting to represent more than 20,000 people are unable to function humanely. The idea of a single government setting rules for six or seven BILLION is nightmarish.
But thanks for asking.

Let's take a look at your question from a different point of view. Should citizens be allowed to carry handguns?
I suspect from your original question and your ID that you would say we shouldn't be allowed to carry handguns. Okay, so from that let's ponder what would happen in a society where individuals' only defense was their own natural abilities to fight or flee.
If you were accosted by someone larger than you who wanted your property (money, jewelry, shoes, car, or whatever), what would your options be? Give him what he demands, run (and face the possibility of still losing your property), or fight. In the latter, you would almost surely lose the fight and your property. But if we put a gun in your hands, you suddenly have the advantage over the person larger than you. Do you see where this is going?
With international conflict, nations do not have the option of running. The choices are lose or fight. It violates human nature to give up without a fight.
So, now let me pose this question: With all of the military power the United States has wielded since World War I, why have we never taken over the nations we've defeated?

How are you going to ban carbon dioxide, Radon, rocks, shoe laces, cars, shirts, plastic bags, dirt, paper, cancer, starvation, communism in China, fertilizer, lightning, poisons, toxins in foods, knives, spoons, forks, old age (that one I really would like to know how you can prevent that one, shoot, God has only broken that rule once), drug overdose, and criminals that would rather kill you than look at you?
You can't. I prefer to be able to exercise my God-given right of self-preservation, you don't have to. I lost to many people because they weren't armed, and I refuse to put my family through that. You can be a victim if you want to be

No. The bad guys always have weapons. How will the good guys defend themselves?

Fire kills - should we ban that while we're at it?
Inantimate objects do not kill people, people kill people and I'm guessing you're against the death penalty?
