Whoever asked the question is an ignorant or stupid person. When the USA dropped the two nuclear bombs,on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,the whole world cheered. It saved the lives of numerous Allied servicemen and also Japanese servicemen and civilians.
It would be well to remember that the USA was the only country that had nuclear weapons at the end of World War Two. It was several years before communist Russia had the atom bomb but the Americans didn't take advantage of that. Imagine if it had been the other way around? The Russians would have taken over the world and we would all be slaves of the Soviet Union.
Some of our Socialist friends forget that.

WMD apply to Nuclear, Biological or Chemical.
Look up some WWI history and you tell me noone ever used chemical weapons
Also, the US (and the rest of the world) do not not want rougue nations, that are incredibly unstable to have nuclear wapons. Most technologically advanced countries have them. Also both Iran and N Korea signed treaties that they would not build them.

A question for the idiots who awnsered this question. Alright
Saddam did use it and okay rough nations do not get WMD
because they are a threat but why in the world did you Americans sanction India. They are an ally. Aha!! You people do not want India as a power right? You guys want to keep them in the dust but that will not work because tthey are joining the Chinese.

actually you are just wrong because of a wording problem. many countries have used WMD because that term includes chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. Also the US doesn't want to rid the world of them, they don't want their enemies to get ahold of them. It's self preservation. All countries do it, it's just that america is the most powerful country so they can do it with stronger means than others.

The bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved at least a million lives.
The fact that the U.S. used them also kept the Soviets from pushing their own button for the 45 years after WWII.

Hmmm... so the US is the only country that's ever used them, huh... I suppose those few hundred thousand people that died under Saddam Hussein's sarin and nerve gas attacks all really just committed suicide? How about the thousands of soldiers that died in gas attacks in WWI and WWII? Or the JEWS that were gassed by Hitler? I guess they don't count?

Obviously you don't know what a W.M.D. is or you would not have just asked that question.

Quite a conumdrum isn't it? The concept of two or more implaccable enemies holding the keys to the apocalypse wasn't called Mutually Assured Destruction for nothing.

you are on the right track but not entirely right.
the US have dropped more bombs since world war 2 then any other country in the world.
the have participated in more wars
they have done this all for money.
They ignore the terriblle things happening right now in african countries because such countries happen to be poor, they have nothing to gain.
i don't recal another country detinating an atomic bomb on another country but other counries have used awful missiles and chemical weapons.
The US aren't the good guys, they manipulate everything though to appear this way.
they also are able to brainwash alot of americans to believe that 'USA rules' this will mean alot of americans will reply to your question with alot of offence taken.
Americans are nice people, the american government is not nice
