Why the american government can have nuclear bombs and the other countries can´t?

Question

I just want to know why the american governement can have nuclear bombs and the other countries can´t? The american government has a special license to use nuclear bombs or the american government just want to control the world using the power of nuclear bombs?

Answer 1

Great question. Being the only nation to use nuclear arms in aggression, the US is in a very hypocritical position by criticizing the North Koreans over their arms testing. If the US and other major powers did not have these weapons, smaller nations would not feel the need to have them either.

Answer 2

What rock did you just crawl out from under? America is NOT the only country with nuclear devices. Do a little research before you start to rant and rave so you don't make such a fool of yourself.

Check and see how many countries around the world are actually in the "nuclear club" and you will be amazed (and terrified). Besides, its the UN that is so worried about North Korea. Why? North Korea is ruled by a despot so crazy that he would never stop to think about the consequences if he used the nuclear bomb. The other countries around the world with nuclear capabilities at least have rulers with enough sense to see that the entire world would lose if anyone were to use a nuclear device against another country.

Answer 3

When the United States first used nuclear weapons on Japan, they had no idea what horror they were about to unleash. They do not want such distructive power to fall into other country's hands.

The United States is the only country ever to use nuclear weapons on another country's people. They never want to see the disaster of nuclear warfare again. Russia is also in agreement with the United States, France, Britian and China.

The United States is still atoning for Hiroshima. Both United States and Russia have been trying to get rid of nuclear weapons for a decade or more, including downsizing their own nuclear arsenals.

Nobody responsible wants to control the world through the threat of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the only weapon that strikes terror into anybody with a rational mind. Using nuclear weapons is like commiting genocide and suicide at the same time.

Don't think that all of the United States' policies are bad. The Bush administration may have made some dumb decisions but they are not stupid.

Answer 4

final evening, I heard the front working Democratic applicants say that they does not settle for Iran having nuclear weapons. They then stated the diplomatic direction they could take. What no different than perhaps Hillary replaced into keen to handle replaced into what to do if international family members fails. Bombing Their reactor is likely considered one of the plan B. i think of what this pole is telling you is that if international family members fails, maximum individuals are on board with plan B. no person i understand needs yet another conflict, yet no person trusts Iran to have Nukes. interior the subsequent 2 or 3 years, we can could chosen and a B2 over an Iranian reactor may be the only specific answer.

Answer 5

As the number of governments with nuclear weapons increases, so does the chance of accidental warfare, not to mention the increasing odds of a true nutcase leader/general getting his finger on the button. For those of you that vilify America as the only country to ever use atomic weapons on another country, watch the Discovery/History channel programs on Japan's WW2 nuclear ambitions. They had plans to drop uranium dirty bombs on San Francisco on August 17th, 1945 and they tested their first true atomic bomb at a secret North Korean facility on August 12th, 1945. We beat them by less than two weeks. If America wanted to "control the world with our nuclear bombs", we should have done the sensible thing and dropped a small nuke on Stalin's head in 1946, and saved the world 43 years of serious grief. Stalin slaughtered more of his own citizens than Hitler could hardly have dreamed of. If you knew how many times WW3 has Really almost started you wouldn't be able to sleep at night, and you surely Wouldn't want any more fingers on buttons. India/Pakistan have reportedly come to the very brink of a nuclear shooting war at least twice, Russian generals wanted an all-out launch when they saw a single missile track coming out of Scandinavia (I think it was a weather satellite launch). During the Cuban missile crisis there were three Soviet nuclear subs out of contact with higher authority. Two of the commanders thought WW3 had already started and voted to launch all their missiles. Luckily for all of us the vote had to be unanimous and the third commander voted to wait. If that one guy had been less independent, WW3 would have happened in 1962. There are probably ten really close calls for every one we will ever find out about. Every new nation that joins the nuclear club increases our chances of a highly radioactive future. Don't wish for that, please. Our kids deserve better than that.

Answer 6

Well controlling the world would be nice, but that's a tad difficult when a lot of countries have them. (Which they do). Most of these countries now obtaining the bomb signed the Non-proliferation Treaty and are in violation. They can HAVE nuclear weapons as shown by North Korea, but the US, Europe, etc are not in any way obligated to do business with them or give them aid. That's the way it goes.

Answer 7

The two countries that have been in the news lately about nuclear bombs: Iran, N Korea.

Iran has been supplying terrorist organizations with weapons. If a terrorist organization gets hold of nuclear weapons, especially from Iran, they will use it to kill people. Most likely american people.

N Korea's leader, Kim Jong il is a maniac. Nobody knows who he may try and kill. It could be south korea since legally they are still at war.

America has experienced something Rogue nations like N Korea and Iran have not. Its called the Cold War. As very active participants, the US, and russia have learned the responsibilities of having nukes.

IN ALL: The US have nukes to contain them and to store them. If a nuclear war broke out, they may be taken out of storage but just because we have them doesnt mean we have a red button to fire them off.

Answer 8

well, the reasons that the American Government wants to prevent other people from having nuclear bombs is that they want to have all the power for themselves. they are greedy, paranoid, selfish people who hope that they will never face the consequences of their actions.
but I personally feel, as someone who tries not to be greedy, power-hoarding, and selfish, that there is no good reason for anyone to be developing nuclear bombs. they are weapons that are designed for mass killing. what good is that to anyone? nuclear power is one thing, weapons and threats are another.
nonetheless I am sympathetic to Iran, who perhaps have more reason to fear a nuclear assault than any other country in the world, and I am sympathetic to North Korea, who have good reason to be seeking attention from the international community.
But I still believe there must is a better way.

Answer 9

Ok the deal is we don't threaten people or try to intimidate people with neuclear weapons which if you read the news is just what north Korea did today by threatening the US. When was the last time you heard George Bush get on TV and say if he didn't get his way he was launching a Nuclear warhead? I think Never but the N. Korean Government just did. Would you want Nuclear power in the hands of someone who will use it as a threat to get thier way?

Answer 10

Because we are better than the rest of the world.... Honest.... just ask any American.... but dont ask anyone from another country.... Dane Cook has the best stand up for that...

We kick the door down on other country's and tell them to behave and to stop being a *****.... but we can have as many as we want.... its not fair and it IS a double standard... EVERYONE SHOULD GET RID OF THEM.
